The TA Center has received a major upgrade. After a consultation process with students, lab coordinators and SCS staff the space was re-designed tailor fit for Teaching Assistant sessions. The new TA Center took inspiration from the popular Learning Lab at the Sauder School of Business at UBC (Image 2). <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There was also a philosophical move away from <\/span>providing<\/span> lab machines to using laptops and cloud services. The <\/span>renovated labs do not have <\/span>computers,<\/span> instead they<\/span> have group stations<\/span> designed for TA hours or group work<\/span> using <\/span>laptops.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
