**[guides](https://guides.codepath.com/ios)** 

### @Derek

- Tech Support Mod for the week
    - Anitya marked as third party when answering question on CodePath discussions (on [this ticket](https://codepath.slack.com/archives/GBSTHFH9N/p1632110340446100)) instead of a TA. I manually resolved this ticket. **After searching in the channel, Anitya is marked as a `third-party` on all discussion post answers but is marked as a `ta` on slack post answers.** Curious if there is an additional config to identify Anitya as a TA on Discussions 


### @Ebuka ideas

- Ask TFs about their workload
- Ask them "What can we do to help reduce the workload as a TF and focus on helping students
