And this is probably not your fault, considering you're the TA/ graduate student instructor and the fact that majority of college/uni Professors have not completed a grad program in the art of teaching, which means many do not know how to teach effectively (I can think of a few during my time at Berkeley).

Holding students to high standards is necessary, however, not one single A means that the teacher needs to reflect on his/her practices and student needs, review assessment data, discern why and how things went south and reteach, so that students attain proficiency/mastery. And this may be the secondary teacher in me, as Unis have more of a sink or swim philosophy.

That is all. Carry on. Sorry for the non bike porn-post
