Students given a teaching assistantship (TA) will have a formalized orientation program to attend that is offered by the University's Center for Teaching Excellence. This orientation is designed for all first time teaching assistants at the university and helps prepare students to be effective instructors and leaders to our undergraduate students. In addition, the Department of Computer Science requires all first-time TAs (for Computer Science) to register for CS 591 TA seminar (1 credit hour) prior to or concurrently with their first TA appointment. The department will have other meetings and workshops for their TAs to attend throughout the year. Please see your TA assignment letter and contract for more details.
