Hey Obi, I notices our classroom isnt available today for lab.. what are we doing about that/where are we going? Are we having a lab this week for D1?
ReplyDeleteI had never read this bio about Obi before but since he is my TA for lab I found it very interesting. I am especially glad he is my TA because I am also an animal science student so maybe I can learn from him!
ReplyDeleteHe has been a part of ALES for so long! It definitely shows because he has a lot of great advice about public speaking.
I think Obi is a great TA and responds very fast to e-mails.
