Because the Imperial College London training is for students of onespecific department, they offer a seminar to ensure that TAs are aware of all relevant processesand procedures within that department (e.g. expectations of the role, how to address seriousproblems in their taught sessions, how to claim payment). Some of these topics, such asaddressing problems, are also offered at NEO, but specifics about payment are not possible in amulti-department training session.

Peer instruction has been shown to be effective in upper and lower level courses,improving student achievement, satisfaction, and self-efficacy. Peer instruction even improvesretention rates in introductory level programming courses. Peer instruction is effective formultiple reasons. Firstly, the questions that replace lecturing are specifically designed to fosterinteraction with course content. Secondly, students make use of classroom time to practice andask their peers questions, actively engaging with material as opposed to passively listening tolectures.Pair programming is the practice of two programmers sitting side-by-side on one computer

Perhaps the most popular method for active learning in recent engineering educationliterature is the inverted or flipped classroom where lectures are moved outside the class time [12-13]. Ameta-analysis by Lo and Hew [19] involving 29 engineering education studies concluded that flippedclassrooms promote student achievement with evidence suggesting that self-paced learning before classand increased problem-solving during class were the predominant reasons [20].
