TA Responsibilities
1) It is the responsibility of each instructor to meet his/her classes
on time, grade and proctor all exams, attend meetings scheduled by the
course coordinator, and have three office hours per week. These
responsibilities continue until course grades are handed in.
2) There will be times, however, due to illness or some other reason,
when you may not be able to meet these obligations. In such cases, the
procedures to follow are listed below.
-
If you are unable to meet your class, you should try to find someone
who is either teaching the same course or has taught it recently to
substitute. Also, contact your course coordinator for approval of the
substitute. If you are unable to find a substitute, contact your course
coordinator and Tammy and let them know the situation; they will try to
assist you in finding a substitute.
- When you will not be able to meet your class,
hold scheduled office hours or perform assigned proctoring or grading,
both the course coordinator and the Department office (Tammy, Arcelia
or Monique) should be notified, so that they can answer questions when
students come looking for you. If someone is substituting for you, you
must tell them who that person is. If you will be missing a meeting,
the course coordinator should be notified.
3) The University requires teaching evaluations to be distributed near
the end of the semester. A student should be appointed to do this, and
the task involved should be explained to the student. You should leave
the vicinity of the classroom, and make sure that the student (and not
you) brings the sealed and signed envelope to the Department office. If
the student comes to your office, send him/her to the Math office.
4) It is recommended that office hours be in non-overlapping time
blocks, to maximize the ability of the student to fit at least one of
your office hours each week into his/her schedule.
