Class Assistantships
Opportunities to work as
class assistants and freshman seminar leaders are also available to
selected students. Class assistants provide support to teaching faculty
in large classes; their duties vary in accordance
with the needs of the professor to whom they are assigned. They are selected on a combination of
seniority, academic performance, and future potential.
First-year Seminar
Leaders
History graduate students
are also employed as first-year seminar leaders by the University Core
Curriculum Program. In this role, they are assigned one or two sections
of first-year seminar, each of which are linked to large lecture courses
(many are in history) in "triads" or "tetrads."
First-year seminar leaders
help students with the work of the large lectures and with other issues
related to the first-year experience and transition to college. They
also assist in grading duties for the large classes. Training for
first-year seminar leaders is required. The graduate student should plan
to begin training in the second summer session prior to the Fall of
employment.
For more information on this
program, please contact Core Curriculum office (825-2150) or see the
Core Curriculum Brochure. |
