Teaching Assistant and Writing
Mentors for Undergraduates
The Department of Biological Sciences invites you to
apply for an undergraduate teaching assistantship for
the fall or spring semester. It is both an honor and a
responsibility to have such a position. Assistantships
are usually awarded to students who have an excellent
record in biology and a minimum of 20 credits, exclusive
of 395 in the Department. The pay is at Level II for approximately
186 hours per semester. You do not have to be a work study
student to apply. If, however, you are on financial aid,
Federal rules may limit the amount you can earn. If you
think this might apply to you, please speak with Nancy Lech in the Biology Office.
Assistants participate in the program with responsibilities
described as follows:
1) Attend lectures in the course
2) Teach one laboratory section
3) Grade lab reports equivalent to one lab section, but
not grade bluebooks or examinations.
4) Attend weekly laboratory conferences (usually held
on early Friday afternoons).
Undergraduate Tutor
Students interested in tutoring for the Department of
Biological Sciences must be majors in Biology, Biochemistry,
or Neuroscience. Preference is given to seniors and juniors.
