If you are interested in TA'ing and of the intro CIS courses in Fall 2013, please fill out this short application.  There are no fixed prerequisites to be a TA, beyond a love of teaching.  You do not need to have taken the course you are TAing, although it helps.  You do not need to be a CIS or Engineer major.  Our students come from all over the University, and our TAs do too.
 
As a TA, your duties will include teaching weekly recitation students, grading weekly homework assignments, holding office hours, and a weekly staff meeting.  New TAs are also required to attend a weekly TA training Friday.  All staff meetings and TA training will take place in the Friday 2-5 time period.

Depending on the course, you may be co-teaching (and grading) your recitation.  You will also be expected to help grade exams, and should plan on being available for several days after the course's final exam.  The typical time commitment is 10 hours per week.

Mentors attend staff meetings and hold office hours, but do not teach recitations or grade.  New mentors do attend TA training.

We expect to begin reviewing applications in mid-April and complete interviewing by the end of reading days.  We cannot promise to consider applications that come in after April 15.
