A reminder of what we're committing to [plagarizing from Leif]
Students play to the best of their ability, but should be reaching out to their TAs for advice.
Quick note on what TA's are expected to do:
First off, you are not supposed to direct the student on how to move each turn. The job of a TA is to teach the diplomacy, tactics, and strategy aspects of the game as you understand them best. Offer suggestions, tips, identify play styles, options in various situations, and in general coach. The student should make the final decisions and choose his/her path to follow while you offer guidance, suggestions, and constructive critiques of their choices. Most of all you are going to be answering questions from the student. You can do this through PM or through email, whichever method you or your student prefers. Each TA has their own style.
All that is asked of TA's is that you don't just tell your student what to do each turn, and that you commit to being available to provide coaching as needed for the student and to answer any questions the student may have.
Professors offer commentary on the game from what they can see at the end of each game year by viewing the map and public press comments in a SOW threat dedicated to this specific game. More frequent updates are of course welcome, especially in the beginning, but reality is that everyone has a finite amount of time
