Equity-Guided Tutoring: A Scalable, TA-Run Approach
DANIEL C. PATTERSON, Josh Torre, Zoey Guo, Thomas McBride · 2025
We report on a prototype small tutoring program run entirely within the existing undergraduate teaching assistant (TA) staff of a large (around 600 students) first semester Computer Science class with an equally large (around 80) staff of undergraduate TAs. The tutoring team, led by the second, third, and fourth authors (all undergraduate TAs), identified students who could benefit from the service by analyzing existing course assessments (homework, labs, and exams), some of which were slightly modified to aid this task.
