My Experience as a Teaching Assistant
For the past year, I have been a teaching assistant for the third-year Bachelor’s course in Corporate Finance at HEC Lausanne, taught by Boris Nikolov. In this role, I am responsible for addressing students’ questions during dedicated sessions, correcting exercises in front of the class, grading exams, and managing the Moodle platform.
This experience has been incredibly enriching. I have learned the importance of being well-prepared to answer questions, and equally, the importance of admitting when I don’t know something. Additionally, I have gained confidence in speaking before an audience of over a hundred people, enhancing my public speaking skills.
