ISM University is all about our community and the Students Assistants project created by ISM Maths and Programming lecturer Kristina Aldošina is the perfect example.

We're expressing our deepest gratitude toward Rugilė Ledzinskaitė, Palina Pilipenka, and Artur Zubkov, who spent the last semester helping out other students excel in their educational journeys.

The trio's activities included various tasks, from consulting students, creating additional tasks, discussing teaching and learning methods to even grading exams.

"This collaboration is a no-loss game: students gain new skills and have the opportunity to express their passion for teaching. In the future, they can return to their alma mater as lecturers, already equipped with a pedagogical background. Meanwhile, I enjoy seeing the sparkles in their eyes, and, of course, benefit from their significant help of high quality, particularly when it comes to grading hundreds of exams," shares K. Aldošina.

What did the Students Assistants take from this activity?

Rugilė Ledzinskaitė (2nd year Finance student):

"Mathematics has always been the realm where I find peace of mind. For those who may not see the wonders of this subject, it's often a matter of just showing them, which is where adding a personal touch or speaking in terms familiar to your peers can be invaluable. I express gratitude to my professor and to ISM for their trust and for providing me with the opportunity to contribute."  

Palina Pilipenka (2nd year Finance student):

“I can't even fathom how lecturers manage it all, because this experience has shown me just how much hard work teaching entails, all to help us, the students, progress and discover ourselves in this journey of life. A huge kudos to our lecturers and, of course, I wish them good and obedient students!” 

Artur Zubkov (2nd year Economics and Data Analytics student):

"It's a great honor to collaborate with one of my favorite professors at ISM. My passion for Maths and Programming has been with me since childhood, and it has ultimately shaped both my career and my hobbies. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Professor Aldošina and ISM for granting me this wonderful opportunity not only to deepen my understanding in these fields but also to support other students on their academic journey."
