Specific considerations
Applicants should have taken (or received credit for) the relevant course(s).
TA positions include some preparation and grading responsibilities outside of scheduled class or lab times.
For COMP 1631 applicants:
The course presentation will be structured differently in the Winter term than it has recently. TAs will only be required for one day each week, but it may not consistently be the same day so please indicate your availability for each class day, (Tuesday/Thursday). There may also be some independent grading required but details have not been determined.
For COMP 1731 applicants:
It is not necessary to be available for both the L1 and L2 lab sections. Select either, or both, depending on your availability. If you are available for both you will be contacted before being offered a position as to your preference for assisting with one or both labs each week. Or, you may add a comment under Other information below. Some independent grading may also be required.
For COMP 2711 applicants:
An ideal applicant should be available for the morning classes as well as the afternoon lab, listed as separate positions below. Consideration may be given to applicants available for only the classes or lab if that proves necessary. Select one or both positions as appropriate.
