Overview

The teaching assistantship (TA) or graduate part-time instructorship (GPTI) is the university's way of assisting the graduate student in the pursuit of advanced education and in meaningful entry into the professional world. Teaching assistants and graduate part-time instructors make an important contribution to the teaching mission of the university. The TA or GPTI is both student and employee. They are continually involved, as students, in the scholarship of their discipline. As students, they have a natural understanding of the needs and perspectives of other students, which enhances their role as employee. For More information, view:
