**TA Observations**

Miguel

- Recommended:
	- Want to hop on a zoom?
	- Be able to recognize issues that can be best resolved through zoom
	- Please check... instead of "just do this"

- What to avoid: 
	- "Why did you do this"?
	- Just do that

- “Check the assignments page” https://codepath.slack.com/archives/C01MPERSF37/p1614986620059300?thread_ts=1614986520.058700&cid=C01MPERSF37

JJ
- Lots of zoom calls, which is great:)

^ Mark - for these answers I dont give the full amount. I will adjust pay based on quality of answer. I feel with some of the TA's its becoming more amount the money than wanting to help 


**Students Observations**

- Rebecca yohannes: lots of consecutive posts within 15 mins
- Spencer Nisonoff: Offered to pay for extra help, consecutive posts, non-descriptive posts
    - Replied to him with suggestions: https://codepath.slack.com/archives/G01JG84CY8G/p1615165231165000?thread_ts=1614998027.064700&cid=G01JG84CY8G

**Questions about Moderator role:**
- If a TA responds asking for more information but does not further resolve the problem
https://codepath.slack.com/archives/GBSTHFH9N/p1614988252096400
- Should I be able to mark the check on the discussion? 
- If long conversion, when do I mark resolved? Beginning or end or last technical TA post before resolution?
- What does it mean when a TA tags iOS-help? Are they giving it up to another TA?
