[Unified-mailman] Undergraduate TAs for next year

[Steven R. Hall]

Folks,

We are looking for a few current Unified students who would like to be 
undergraduate TAs in Unified next year. If you are interested, please 
reply to this e-mail to indicate your interest. It is also helpful if 
you also indicate the specific disciplines (Signals and Systems, 
Structures and Materials, Fluids, Computers and Programming, and/or 
Thermo and Propulsion) that are of most interest to you, in terms of 
grading and office hour help, since we need some balance in skills.

As you probably know, the main functions of the undergraduate TAs are 
to grade problem sets and systems problem, pre-take exams, assist in 
labs, prepare for and attend at least one office hour session per week, 
occasionally tutor students in need, and sometimes help with the PRS 
system in lecture. Not every TA will participate in all these 
activities, but you should be willing to be flexible.  Of course, we 
try to match TA skills with assigned tasks, so everyone we invite to be 
a TA should be able to contribute. All TAs need to be involved in 
grading problem sets, due to the sheer volume of the task. We also ask 
that TAs have enough time in their schedules that they can regularly 
contribute to grading, etc. An important priority for us is the timely 
turn-around of graded problem sets and systems problems, so we want TAs 
who are not over-committed, at least by MIT standards.

If you are interested, please reply no later than May 1.

Thanks,

Steven Hall
