Hello everyone,

So I am a new TA and I taught something wrong to my students. This will form one part of their assignment. I have no idea how to handle this! We have been working on this since term began! I am not sure how I can pull off saying 'all right class, remember what I said about what to do for that part of the assignment? Well it's wrong, this is how you address it...."

a) I will look totally incompetent, and my students may never take me seriously again!


How to handle this?


I thought of saying something along the lines of....

"having discussed with the course administrator, it appears that you actually have to do section A differently"

The assignment is due at the end of term. It's not a MAJOR mistake, but it is still a mistake.


How can I correct this and not lose face to my students?


Thanks!

Good evening all,

I find my supervisor less caring towards me, both on a personal level and academic level,compared to his other phd. It gets to me, but I feel I simply cannot open up to them and address the issue. I feel less important and interesting and it makes me quite upset. How to stop caring?

Many thanks
