Thank you so much for the information Aladi. Has been really helpful. I have been given a TA scholarship as well for this coming fall and I really want to know these: *Were you taken through any training prior the job? *How were you able to schedule your normal student hours with TA working hours without clash? *Was your normal school days and TAship take place simultaneously or were done on separate days? *Did working as a TA affect your normal school grades, like negatively? *Was the pay enough for you to fend for your self or you had to take on another job?
Congratulations on your TA award! Interesting questions. 1. Not exactly, but we had weekly meetings with the professors to discuss the weekly labs and programming assignments. ( I might make a video about this in the future). 2. No. Because I was working in the same department I was studying. Labs were only held on Tuesdays and Thursdays while most of my graduate classes were held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 3. Number 2 answers this too. 4. No, it did not. I made sure I planned ahead for everyday. This way I was able to allocate specific time for grading, studying, doing my assignments, and preparing for labs, etc. 5. Pay was definitely not enough to cover all my expenses. I was in debt 💸 too 🥲. I recommend that you watch the following videos for more clarification.

@@AladiAkoh Awwww I'm super grateful for your time and response, thank you so much! Will definitely be giving this Sponsorship second thoughts before school starts so I can make a good decision. Thank you so much Aladi! You truly are an inspiration 💜
I'll just add to Aladi's response based on my experience. I'm currently a TA as a first year student. 1. I agree with Aladi, just weekly meetings. P.S: ASK QUESTIONS!!! 2. I'm also teaching within my department, so there's no clashing situation. The schedule is usually fixed from the beginning of the semester based on when you'll be available. 3. In my case, I teach and take classes on the same days. I have at least one class everyday. 4. To be honest, the teaching assignment is time consuming and somewhat stressful. I won't say it directly affects my grades, because my grades depend on a mix of more factors, but it surely plays a role. You don't have all the time in the world, so you have to be a pro at managing your time well. I really don't want this response to sound discouraging. But I'll say, Grad school is hard but doable. 5. The pay is okay😄. For me, full tuition is covered and I receive biweekly paychecks which are sufficient to meet my basic needs and some savings.
@@estherolonimoyo Wow huge Congrats to you! I'm beyond honoured for sharing your experience with me, and your advice! Will definitely put it into consideration. Thank you so much Esther! Wishing you more blissful experiences!🥳
Please bro am in Nigeria am finding it hard to pay my sevis fee here I went to 7 banks the Western union. Said the can't send that the can only receive ...😓😓🙏please I need help
My husband has been a professor in the US for 13 years. He's originally from the Middle East but because he's been in the US for so long (Masters, PhD, and teaching), he has little to no accent. However, his students often cite his accent as a reason they did poorly in his courses. I feel that often when we see or perceive someone to be from overseas, we imagine their accent to be much stronger than it is in reality. I've seen this too since I converted to Islam and wear hijab, I've had people who tell me that I barely have an accent even though I have no accent. I'm just a white girl in hijab but because they imagine I must be "foreign", they hear an accent. I just thought this was an interesting context to add to your student's comments.
I found your channel a couple weeks ago and I've been hooked ever since. I'm an incoming PhD student from the Caribbean and I have had so many reservations about being a TA. This really helped me a lot and I will def be reaching out to get familiar with the material before hand. Keep inspiring the people Aladi!
TA I can relate, you have to be confident and know you are smart.Also don't be too hard on yourself when you get some bad reviews. A student came to me at a time, they heard some of their classmates saying they'd give me poor reviews and they wondered why they'd do that. I was like I am not ice cream, everybody cannot like me. So best believe some people will be ridiculous with those reviews
Please bro am in Nigeria am finding it hard to pay my sevis fee here I went to 7 banks the Western union. Said the can't send that the can only receive ...😓😓🙏please I need help
It’s so funny how your experiences are all the way from USA and have continued to inspire me greatly from Nigeria to the UK. Aladi Akoh, God bless you.
Thank u so much ☺️ Aladi for the wonderful videos u have uploaded on your channel about f1 visa. I’m glad to inform you that I got my visa approved today after being denied twice
Wow! Good to meet you. I'm actually going for research assistant job if given the admission. I need you in my life. I am about to apply for either of the two(research assistant or teaching assistant). I am glad I met you today.
Aladi thanks for sharing this helps, one to know what to expect. Please can do a video on what to bring down like raw foodstuffs, clothes, etc for those coming this fall 2022.or you go live to answer questions that will help us a lot
Hi Bosscakr may youbfind favour before the Vo in Jesus name. Come back with testimonies in Jesus name. Pls are you on any funding or you're paying yourself? I need to connect with you sis. Thanks
Just pray and leave the rest to the Almighty God. Whatever the outcome, it is well . It will not be the end of the world, God will open another door. Keep everything from the outside world, don't tell anyone and pray daily.
Almighty Father, I pray that as Bosscake is going to the embassy on the 19th of May, 2022, please grant him your favor and blessings in the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen. When he is talking with the interviewer, may you let your peace reigned on him and let the interviewer show him mercy. Do this for Bosscake and he will come and give glory and honor unto you. It is done in Jesus name.
Aladi thanks for sharing, at least one will have an insight into TAs /RAs' roles and how to go about your duties by reaching out to profs before coming down, I think one needs to prepare so as not to get messed up. Please can you go live so that we can ask you questions or do a video on what we need to bring down eg foodstuffs clothing etc? Thanks for responding.
Currently doing my masters in the states, Wisconsin Madison. What I’m currently struggling is food, where to do my hair, the weather, food again and food.
First survey and students told me teaching was off at the beginning of the semester 🤭. The defeaning silence at the beginning of my first class was funny! They didn’t understand a word I spoke and just stared at me for a whole 2.5 hrs straight😂😂😂. I’m my own boss now and trust me it gets better. I manage a whole lab now and I teach three classes☺️
Please bro am in Nigeria am finding it hard to pay my sevis fee here I went to 7 banks the Western union. Said the can't send that the can only receive ...😓😓🙏please I need help
Hi. The difficulty with paying the SEVIS fee here in Nigeria is hella crazy. Could you please tell me how to go about it? Western Union isn't an available option.
Hello Aladi,please is there any where someone who is not good with coding can learn appropriately? Before taking up the job as a research assistant? Please I need you to throw more light on research assistant job? I would like to know about the salary differences between the two. I am a nurse and I want to come to the state for one or two academic programmes to enable me write the nursing board exams and practice my profession.
Plss apart from TA and GA.. which other jobs do they offer inside the school and how are they paid plss.. Incase some1 is unable to get the assistantship
I love your videos. Is it possible to do a master's in Computer Science and your first degree is a different course entirely. I am planning toward my master's though not done with my first degree. NB: I have been taking programming courses online. I love programming. 2. If possible to apply for a CS degree, will I be considered to be a GTA?
I just stumbled on your channel, you are doing great. Please I would like to know if I receive a scholarship will I need to show a huge amount for visa processing? Thank you in advance
Please I want to ask how racism is what to runaway from. I got an admission from Wisconsin university, and I read that it's one of the most racist state what do you advise.?
Good job Aladi. I have an admission to Saint Louis University with full tuition but my sponsor has sponsored two people to the US and Canada with the same bank statement. can i use the same bank statement to prove my funding?
Hi Stephen... Please I just wanna know if it was the school who gives the admission... But i don't really understand the sponsor part.. pls I'd like you to put me through
