3) EDIT/ESTABLISH COURSE PREFERENCES
** Important: Be sure to complete all three of these steps! **
1) REGISTRATION is for entering whether you wish to TA for the current quarter plus additional information to identify you and your general areas of interest. (Important: Be sure to check the box that says "I wish to TA autumn, 2009")
2) APPLICATION is for updating data about your qualifications so that instructors can more easily find the best qualified TAs.
3) EDIT/ESTABLISH COURSE PREFERENCES is for entering your preferences of which courses you want to TA. Your preferences are ranked so that we can find the best match for your preferences and the instructors' preferences.
TAs are generally expected to attend the lecture of the course they wish to TA for. Please pay special attention to whether you have a schedule time conflict with any course and rank any course with '-1' if a conflict exists. Exceptions are sometimes made for students who have previously TA'd for that course or if other special circumstances exist. Contact me if this applies to you.
All students must apply each quarter they wish to be considered a TA. Students who apply and are not appointed during a given quarter will remain eligible to fill any TA openings should they occur.
