Pros

The subject matter was interesting, and I enjoyed watching students grow in their study.

Cons

Sometimes the work could be intensive with short turnaround. This created some issues with my own deadlines for school work.

Pros

Supportive faculty who encourage academic and professional development. Opportunities to mentor undergraduate students through recitations, labs, and hands-on research. Exposure to advanced engineering topics and access to strong research infrastructure. Flexible schedule that allows balancing teaching duties with PhD research. Constructive academic environment that helps build communication, leadership, and technical skills.

Cons

Workload can be heavy during peak periods like midterms and finals. Administrative processes (forms, scheduling, approvals) can sometimes be slow. Coordination across departments occasionally requires repeated follow-ups. TA responsibilities vary widely by course, leading to inconsistent workload. Limited compensation relative to the cost of living in the New Brunswick area.
