...creation of a study guide library open to all students of the College will at least allow for equal access to these guides. Many social organizations and sports teams already circulate study guides over internal lists, giving members an advantage over those without such connections. Moreover, some TFs provide additional study materials to their students, such as lecture outlines and explanations of readings, which give some students within a class an edge over their peers in other sections. An open study guide library presumably would level the playing field and counter some of these inequities...

These guides are created by students and are subject to individual student interpretation (or misinterpretation) of course content. Since there is no oversight from course instructors or TFs, some material on study guides might be just plain wrong. Any student who decides to use a study guide as a replacement for attending class or doing readings does so at his or her own risk...

Though Alex has not had experience being a teaching fellow, she says that older graduate students have warned her that TFs largely focus on grading and answering students’ questions about tests and homework. Alex says she found the opportunity to teach a mini-course appealing because it would give her lecture experience...
