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.
