A considerable increase in enrollment numbers poses major challenges incourse management, such as fragmented information sharing, inefficientmeetings, and poor understanding of course activities among a large team ofteaching assistants. To address these challenges, we restructured the course,drawing inspiration from successful management and educational practices. Wedeveloped an organized, three-tier structure for teams, each led by anexperienced Lead TA. We also formed five functional teams, each focusing on aspecific area of responsibility: communication, content, "lost student"support, plagiarism, and scheduling. In addition, we updated our recruitmentmethod for undergraduate TAs, following a model similar to the one used in thesoftware industry, while also deciding to mentor Lead TAs in place oftraditional training. Our experiences, lessons learned, and future plans forenhancement have been detailed in this experience report. We emphasize thevalue of using management techniques in dealing with large-scale coursehandling and invite cooperation to improve the implementation of thesestrategies, inviting other institutions to consider and adapt this approach,tailoring it to their specific needs.
