HELPING STUDENTS
Dr. Nagel
Returning Student
Assistants?
HELPING STUDENTS
Do
Avoid
• Encourage them if they are
having trouble with a task
• Ask questions to help figure
out where they are stuck
• Doing the task for them
• Telling them “the
answer”
• Letting one person
dominate the group
• What have you tried?
• What are you trying to do?
• Remind them of tutorials
they have done that relate
to their current problem
• Encourage teamwork
• What did your partner think
about that?
HELPING STUDENTS (From handbook)
• Keep students on task.
• If students are struggling with a task, you may encourage them
and/or suggest new ways to think about the problem in order to help
them solve the problem. However, do not tell students how to do a
task or perform a task for students.
• Be aware of group dynamics, and help students learn how to work
effectively in teams. Make sure that all students are participating in
projects, and do not allow one student to dominate a group.
• Remember that you are an authority and a supervisor to the
students. Your goal should not be to be the students’ friend. Maintain
a professional distance from them.
• Stay calm with students at all times. Showing them that you are angry
with them will only undermine your authority and encourage them to
try to rattle you.
WEDNESDAY GROUPS

1 – 2 pm

TECH ENRICHMENT

• You will need to lead a small group of 2-4 students
in a technology-related activity for 15 minutes
• For ideas, check out www.csunplugged.org
• We’ve done these two successfully.
• Binary game

• You can pick one of those or a different one.
• Once you’ve picked the activity, practice on the
other student assistants
SCAVENGER HUNT
Victor & Haley
• Pick locations for students to go; make up
instructions to get to the next location (what
question to ask at each location? Answer to this
question)
• Think about how a QR code could be used:
Examples:
• Clue to the next location
• Question to be answered at the current location
• Video of some task to do at the current location (e.g., take
a teamwork related picture, etc.)
