 While teaching can be challenging and a lot of work, you're not doing it alone! Don't forget to ask your peers, whether past or present GSIs, for advice and even past instructional material (that may not have made it on to the EBRB). Collaboration and coordination with your co-GSIs can make teaching a lot more manageable (and fun)! While teaching can be challenging and a lot of work, you're not doing it alone!
