This article discusses the role of graduate students in teaching others. The author provides insight into the teaching process, and seeks to give lessons to graduate students with respect to improving their own teaching skills. The author notes that time management is a critical challenge when juggling teaching duties. This work is something of a primer to help graduate students meet the challenges associated with being both students and instructors. The work is not academic in any way, nor is it published in an academic journal. The author is a member of faculty, but again this does not mean that the article is strictly academic in nature. Rather, the content constitutes advice to graduate students, rather than the results of any particular study.

The common theme in all three articles is that they are all written by members of faculty, but none qualify as academic works. It is important to separate the credentials of the...

These works, however, do not deliver verifiable fact as much as they deliver opinion -- they are just educated opinions.
