Teaching Assistant
Description
Summary
The teaching assistant will provide support to the instructor of record during designated classroom hours. TAs work alongside the assigned faculty member and do not manage scheduled class time in the absence of that faculty member. The teaching assistant will work with students to solve problems and challenges, especially in hands-on, technical courses and projects. Teaching assistants may provide specialist knowledge to enhance the overall experience of the course.
Teaching assistants are scheduled to be available during class time and for specific preparatory meetings as needed throughout the semester. TA workloads do not reflect the same preparatory, grading, or administrative hours that assigned faculty workloads do.
