He enhanced the presentation of course content with useful material that is otherwise beyond the scope of the course where that sort of instruction stimulates the students&#8217; curiosity in the subject matter. One professor highlighted his &#8220;remarkable ability to breakdown difficult concepts, to analyze important consequences, and to provide succinct and comprehensive explanations&#8221; while harmonizing ideas from different subjects to give the students a deep appreciation and understanding of algebra.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan McPherson will walk the stage in June 2024 with his B.Eng, and will continue his studies in a Master\u2019s program at U of T next year.\u00a0\u00a0 Ryan received an unprecedented number of nominations from 31 students, praising his positive attitude and student-centred support in the classroom during tutorials and exam review sessions, his useful and timely assignment feedback, and the consistent and thoughtful responses he gave them through his email communications. A phrase that popped up in a number of nominations was &#8220;I would not have passed this class without his help&#8221; which indicates the significant contribution he made to the students&#8217; success over the last year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23671\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Awards1-240x161.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"334\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Awards1-240x161.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Awards1-400x269.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Awards1-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Awards1-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Awards1-1536x1031.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Awards1-2048x1375.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Awards1-360x242.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23672\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Award-240x191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"282\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Award-240x191.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Award-400x318.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Award-160x127.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Award-768x611.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Award-1536x1223.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Award-2048x1631.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/TA-Award-360x287.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 282px) 100vw, 282px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The School of Mathematics and Statistics is proud to present the recipients of the 2023-24 Teaching Assistant award.
