Student Assistant - SE (Teaching Assistant for Algorithms and Data Structures module) (f/m/x)

We are seeking a dedicated Student Assistant to support the lecturer with the SE_02 Algorithms and Data Structures module. In this role, you will assist students in understanding the fundamentals of time complexity analysis and various data structures.
 
As a Student Assistant - SE (Algorithms and Data Structures Teaching Assistant) (f/m/x) your role consists of mainly two tasks:

• Help other students with questions and problems through Slack messages during office hours or in person during LUs.
• Review student hand-ins (assessments) and provide meaningful written feedback to them throughout the semester.

 
That means we’re looking for you to bring the following skillset:

• You have a desire to help and support fellow students.
• You are well-organized and an effective communicator.
• In order to be able to support students with their questions, you must have a solid understanding of high school maths (or have completed the module SE_40 Essential Mathematical Methods successfully) and of algorithms and data structures (or have completed the module SE_02 Algorithms and Data Structures successfully).
• You can explain the basics of time complexity analysis and data structures, such as hash tables and graphs, in a clear and simple manner.

 
If, beyond this, you bring along any of the following, and it would really give our team an edge. Remember that none of these points are requirements, though:

• You have passed the modules SE_01 and SE_02 and SE_40.
• Knowing C, or other programming languages in addition to Python would be beneficial but not required for this role.
