Common use of Teaching Assistant II Clause in Contracts

Teaching Assistant II. A Teaching Assistant II (▇▇ ▇▇) bears primary responsibility for all or a substantial amount of the preparation, instruction and grading of a particular course. The nature of the role of a ▇▇ ▇▇ may vary depending on the teaching needs of the individual department. A ▇▇ ▇▇ generally is expected to engage in more preparation, exercise greater independence in the instruction and grading of components of a course, and carry out their duties with less direct supervision from a faculty member than a TA. Appointment as a ▇▇ ▇▇ recognizes the potential differences in teaching assistant roles and responsibilities across courses and departments and allows for appropriately higher levels of stipends where greater levels of responsibility are required by the position. Appointments are made by the Graduate School on the basis of departmental recommendations.
