"There is not much to develop in terms of skills. Nothing new."

"I enjoy being able to impact students and their education."

"It was very good experience for me. I like teaching and helping others."

"It's always good to gain some work experience while in school and be financially independent. I like this one in particular in business office because it's related to my field of study and I gain very detailed training, and a good supervisor, who taught me a just value toward work."

"I can work and learn new stuff and get paid, that's really good."

"I loved being involved in research. That is the key to having a good experience as a graduate assistant. I hated when I was asked to shred papers and grade homework assignments. Those are low end tasks that don't help the learning experience."

"Everything is good, except the working hours, they sometimes are odd."

"I love the work environment."

"It is not a full time job. So now that I have graduated, I wanted to move on."

"The role of helping, improve programs and teaching people to make educational content more accessible to a diverse audience was extremely fulfilling. Not only did it provide accessibility to content, but provided usability to all people, thus improving learning. Through research of Affective Learning, providing well designed instruction provides foundation for creativity and reduces stress to allow for creativity to arise."

"Since the labs are 24x7, we have to work even on national holidays and weekends."

"It is wonderful to assist professors, but honestly, more challenging work is expected by me."

"I hate that my time is stretched too thinly between research, teaching, and coursework and, even with an almost perfect GPA and multiple applications for funding/grants I have been unable to switch from teaching assistant to research assistant. I enjoy teaching a great deal but with the focus on research it is almost impossible to do any one thing excellently."
