 | Will usually be in charge of one of the two labs sections only (assuming status quo to be 8 daytime lab sections): - 8 TAs total. All graduate students. All will "junior" TA a section before "senioring" their own section - incoming TAs will likely TA 140/150 their first term, until we can determine their suitability for 100 ex: for 2008 Fall.... Mpm - Miranda and Ryan Tam - Miranda and 1 Tpm - 1 and 2 Wam - Ryan and 3 Wpm - 3 and 4 Ram - 2 and 5 Rpm - 4 and 6 Fam - 5 and 6 |
