Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (UTAs)

Many academic departments employ advanced undergraduates as teaching assistants in entry-level courses. Working with an undergraduate TA can be an extremely rewarding experience for instructors and students alike. Intructors  should be aware of the University guidelines governing the limits of TA responsibilities to teaching and grading. 

In 2019-20, a Working Group comprised of faculty and students from across a range of disciplines, as well as two administrators from the College and Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning, respectively, met to discuss the University's approach to collaborative teaching and learning and to ensure that it reflects current research and best practices.

The Working Group's report and recommendations are available here
