TA Walkthroughs

A TA walkthrough is a good way to understand the student experience of your exam. The procedure is smooth and simple:

  1. Inform the CBTF that a TA will be coming into the lab (via cbtf@illinois.edu or by the #cbtf-help slack channel).
  2. TAs check in with the proctor similar to how a student would.
  3. If there is an available seat, TAs are assigned a workstation in the room where they can access what has been made available to them.
  4. The TA will check out of the room with the proctor and exit the testing facility.

Visiting Teaching Assistants are expected to remain respectfully quiet and avoid distracting testing students. If active communication is required, please use a text messaging application.
