What is my role at the PMT meeting?
You will need to discuss your role with the PMT before the meeting but eventually you will be expected to take the leading role in running the meeting. This will involve giving students feedback on their previous exercises and presenting the current exercise. You will need to correct any errors and provide motivation to the students to ensure that they work hard. Hence all criticism needs to be tempered with encouragement. There are a number of possible ways of presenting the current exercise and it is this challenge that should make the UTA role interesting. The PMT should be an experienced academic and you can discuss your ideas for running the PMT meeting with him/her. You will see your students develop their skills in mathematical reasoning and this should give you satisfaction and provide feedback about the process of running a PMT meeting.
