Abstract

The Teaching Assistants of the Faculty of Psychology of the Autonomous University of Barcelona are a group of students that provide support to the teaching staff.

Introduction

The 2012-2013 academic year was the third year that the School of Psychology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) utlized teaching assistants (TAs on).

It was created as a platorm to provide teaching resources for future postgraduates of the school
