Usually during the Higher Ed podcast, KUT's Jennifer Stayton and Southwestern University President Dr. Ed Burger discuss issues related to learning and education. How does it turn out when they add another voice to the mix? In this episode, they are joined by second-year Southwestern University student Tristin Evans. She adds a student perspective to the discussion and talks about what it was like to move from being a student to being a teacher's assistant in one of Dr. Burger's classes.
Ed teaches a class at Southwestern called "Effective Thinking and Creative Puzzle-Solving." Ed and Jennifer talked with Tristin about what she learned switching from student to teacher's assistant and what advice she has for younger learners (or really learners of any age).
