Preferred Courses

Please indicate the courses you wish to be a GTA for. This does not mean you will be assigned to a course from your choices but it helps us find matches for you.

These are the current offerings of classes for the term. If there is one you do not see on the list, that means it is probably not being offered. You may list it in the comments on the off chance it is added.

You MUST select at least 1 undergraduate class.

Please note: CS1114 and CS2114 have a requirement that you will lead 2 lab sections a week. Leading a lab section means you will be present and be in charge of that 2 1/2 hour time with the undergraduates.

Also, CS1114, CS2114, CS3114, CS2505 are part of a training program and require in person training in the week prior to the start of the term. Additionally there is on going training throughout the semester.

Select from the following list an additional choice for the Graduate course that you would be willing to be assigned as a GTA, (you MUST have taken the course, or an equivalent graduate course, previously):

Relevant Experience

List any teaching experience (actual in-class instruction, not just TA duties such as grading). Give the subject and scope of your involvement, (e.g., "C++ instructor for semester long course", "Java, led lab sessions once per week for 2 semesters", Operating Systems, guest lectured two times").

½ GRA

Will you be on a half ½ GRA (Graduate Research Assistantship) contract during this semester?
Note: students on a Full 100% GRA may not also apply for a GTA.)
