Teaching Assistants play a critical role in facilitating and executing the UAR 194A and UAR 194B course sequence. TAs are experienced co-leads who understand the curriculum deeply; they are eager to stay involved with the Frosh 101 and Transfer 101 program, facilitate group discussions, and act as a resource for the next cohort of co-leads.

TA Expectations and Responsibilities

  • Attend TA Orientation late Winter quarter.
  • Attend your assigned section of UAR 194A (Spring) and UAR 194B (Fall).
  • Attend weekly TA prep meetings before class.
  • For each course, work with a group of students and facilitate curriculum (e.g., guide discussions/activities, take attendance, etc.).
  • Represent the Frosh 101 & Transfer 101 program at various events (i.e., New Student Orientation, Admit Weekend, Frosh Winter Warm-Up).
  • Host TA drop-in hours per quarter (schedule determined with teaching team).

Eligibility

  • All applicants must be authorized to work in the US. Student worker onboarding will require I-9 verification.
  • All student hiring is subject to university policy. Additional information can be found in the online administrative guide 10.1.1 Undergraduate Student Employment.
  • Any students interested in being a TA are welcome to apply; however, students who completed Frosh 101 / Transfer 101 and have previously been a co-lead will be given higher consideration for selection.
  • TAs must commit to helping facilitate the in-person courses UAR 194A (Spring) and UAR 194B (Fall). Students who are away from campus for either quarter (e.g., studying away, on a leave of absence, have graduated, etc.) are not eligible to participate.

  • Paychecks will be issued based on hours worked each pay period. Every month has two pay periods: 1st-15th of the month and 16th-last day of the month.
  • All student workers must record actual hours worked in Axess Timecard each pay period throughout the Spring and Fall.
  • Undergraduate students may work a maximum of 15 total hours each week, counting all campus jobs. The TA role will require approximately four hours per week throughout Spring and Fall Quarters.
  • While this is an hourly, non-exempt position subject to overtime rules and regulations, overtime is not expected or approved for this position.
