-===== Our GSI Oath =====
-We, GSIs of Alex Filippenko's Astronomy C10 course, taught in the Fall of 2010, will make the utmost effort to
-   - have patience when communicating with our students.
-   - come to section prepared.
-   - talk to the class and not the board (or empty space).
-   - add variety to our sections to keep student interest.
-   - have a genuine interest in the subject matter we are discussing.
-   - aim to satisfy the middle level student, while giving ample opportunity for high level students to ask detailed questions.
-   - remain positive through thick and thin, regardless of our stress level.
-   - have flexibility in our teaching, allowing for the unknown.
-   - make it clear how the material ties in with lectures and allow students to ask questions about the lecture material that confused them.
-   - relate the material to the students and show how seemingly disparate concepts can lead to an understanding of bigger picture ideas.
