In our very first episode of the GTA series, I talk about my experiences as a first time college professor and fresh graduate teaching associate. I do a deep dive into how I felt teaching my first ever first day of class. Not only was it my first day teaching college, but it was also my first day teaching a synchronous online class. I express all the uncertainties I felt as a graduate teaching associate, impostor syndrome, and how these played a role in my outlook towards teaching. I also offer a few tips and tricks to help future instructors, teachers, TAs, and more, especially for online learning and education.
