Teaching Assistant and Research Assistant Assessment Guidelines

Teaching Assistant Assessment Guidelines: Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
The skills and training acquired as a Teaching Assistant (TA) depend on faculty mentoring, feedback, and assessment. Faculty members supervising TAs should clearly define assistants' responsibilities at the beginning of the assistantship and provide feedback on how those responsibilities are being met. Feedback identifies TA strengths, encourages performance improvement, as well as prevents, mitigates, or helps resolve academic disputes. Guidelines have been established by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences regarding assessment of teaching assistants. Click here for the complete guidelines.
