Hello LFS TAs,

We hope you are keeping well and safe and are thriving in your TA roles. 

The purpose of the upcoming CoP next week Monday is to share and hear TAs experiences of online teaching and learning assistance (new and returning TAs). This information is critical as it provides evidence to inform and guide programming and training based on your needs.

Please RSVP here:

Best Regards,

Lennie and Tebby

TA Training Program Coordinators

As a TA, have you been left with students’ course work at the end of term and don’t know what to do with it?

Here’s information that can help:

Managing students’ work, including assignment, midterm, and final exam, is the course instructor’s responsibility.  As a TA, you need to hand over all students’ work, both paper-based and electronic files, to your instructor at the end of the Term. TAs are required to securely delete electronic files from your computer.

Thanks to Associate Dean, Academic, Dr. Zhaoming Xu, for this policy information.

DEADLINE:  4:00 PM Friday, March 5, 2021
