All hiring of teaching assistants at UofT is done internally by individual departments. Most graduate departments at the University of Toronto offer new students a teaching assistantship when they are accepted into the department. This is not always the case, however, and no department is required to offer TAships to its students.

Please check our undergraduate course descriptions. You are likely to teach a course with a course number beginning 10, 11, or 12. You may need to master specific programming languages such as C++ and Scheme to be able to perform your teaching duties.

Instructors cannot add users to a course. To request that a user be added as a TA, please send email to blackboard@uno.edu.

Teaching Assistant assignments will be made in late August. You will work with a faculty member and your main duty will be to grade assignment papers. Graduate students do not usually teach classes. You will have office hours for undergraduate students to meet with you. A few hours each week will be spent maintaining web pages for faculty.

Every teacher is provided with a local teaching assistant. They all speak English and help the teacher with conducting the lesson in the first week. They also help out through the term with general administrative support and translate and assist you with any problems you might encounter. In primary (elementary) and in some junior schools a Chinese teaching assistant is assigned for every class you teach.

The first payday is usually September 15th. The second payday is the the last working day of September. The remaining paydays are the last working day of the month.

Upon applying to graduate school, check on the form that you would like financial aid. Fill out the form located on the link for People - TA Application. All applications are done in an electronic format.

If your registration fees are to be paid by your department, you may want to defer payment until the funding sources are available. (e.g., stipends, TA fellowships, etc.) Please note: If your graduate award does not include Health Insurance, you must pay it at the time of your payment plan enrollment. If you are paying your registration fees with your teaching assistant salary, you may set up a payment plan to correspond with receipt of your paychecks.

No - all applicants are considered for these positions. Typically half of the incoming class (i.e. around 12 students) are offered TA positions each year. Of these, a few are multi-year TA offers.

No. The TATP is a training programme, not an employment programme. The TATP offers training and support for graduate students, and in some cases undergraduates, who have already been hired as TAs in their own departments, or who know they will be hired in the near future. The TATP is not a career centre and has nothing to do with the hiring of TAs on campus.

Answer: Faculty members often employ doctoral students as RA’s on their research projects, and students are strongly encouraged to apply for these positions as they provide excellent experience. These positions vary from year to year, depending on the grant money awarded to faculty members. Teaching assistants (TA’s) help professors by assisting with marking assignments and delivery of some course information. SLAIS does not have such positions at this time

The ECE department offers two forms of student financial assistance: The research assistant (RA) and the teaching assistant (TA). The RA positions are under control of each individual faculty member. The ECE office does not keep any records on availability. You will need to query each individual faculty member to check on their availability of RA funding.

No, especially at Mineral Engineering. In large lectures, professors try to get to know as many students as possible. Even if that fails, you will certainly be known by your TA and lab assistant! Our class sizes are small enough to allow professors to get to know you by name. At Mineral Engineering, the staff and faculty know every student, and the Chairs are always available and eager to speak with students about their development, futures and interests.

TAs supervise assignments in small discussion and lab sections of undergraduate courses. GSRs assist faculty members with scholarly research and may or may not collaborate in the publication of research results. For more information, consult the Graduate Division website at www.gdnet.ucla.edu/gss/appm/appmintro.htm.

A teaching assistant is defined as a graduate assistant who spends some of his/her assistantship hours engaged in classroom teaching or other forms of indirect teaching. All new teaching assistants are required to attend this orientation. Attendance for returning graduate teaching assistants who have already attended the previous orientation is recommended but optional.

No, because BU Law does not have teaching assistants, it is not possible to obtain this kind of work in exchange for a tuition waiver. All classes are taught by BU Law faculty, without the assistance of paid students.

Technically, a graduate teaching assistant is a person who holds a graduate teaching assistantship and is obligated to the extent of teaching two three-hour courses per semester, or for the equivalent in laboratory classes, or for other forms of departmental assistance, except research assistance, amounting to a minimum of 12 clock hours per week. These assistantships are generally registered to academic units. For more information visit Graduate Education .

This type of experience is useful if you want to apply for an assistantship position in the business school. However, it cannot substitute for industrial work experience in your MBA application. We encourage all applicants to make personal visits to the university and the Center so they can visit with students and staff, view the facilities, etc. Alumni may in certain cases be available during such visits, but we can always arrange for email contacts between applicants and alumni.

A6: It is preferred that you have a professor write your evaluation. Just make sure that your T.A. gets his/her faculty to sign it as well. You want to make sure that you get a recommendation from someone who knows you well and can relate to us the type of person you represent. The reason why a professor recommendation is preferred is that you are required to get recommendations letters from professors when you apply to medical school or any professional school.
