The assignments to sessions are based on your availability which we
obtained from the schedule you submitted. If your schedule has
changed, and you cannot attend this weekly session, please let Harold
Stokes know right away (at stokesh@byu.edu), and he will try to
change your assignment.
The sessions are scheduled to be two hours long, although they often don't last that long. These two hours are counted as part of your assignment in the tutorial lab. For example, if you are assigned 10 hours/week in the tutorial lab, then you will spend 2 hours/week in the preparation session and 8 hours/week in the lab helping students.
In the preparation sessions, you will work the homework problems in that course. You will work together with the other TAs without the help of the instructor. The students will know which TAs are prepared for their course and will look for them when they come to the tutorial lab for help.
Your photographs and names will be posted on the internet for the students to see. Acceptance of employment in the tutorial lab implicitly implies your permission to post this information.
Even though you will be especially prepared to help students in one specific course, you are still expected to help students in other courses as well.
If your assigned course uses homework where the students submit answers over the internet, you may be asked to help grade exams for that course. This is part of your assignment as a tutor. You are expected to help grade exams if the instructor asks for your help and if your schedule allows it. The instructor will come to your preparation session with more information when the time comes. When you grade exams, trade the hours spent grading with hours spent in the tutorial lab. For example, if you spend four hours grading exams, then skip four hours at the tutorial lab. These can be any four hours, but we would appreciate it if you chose times when the lab is the least busy.
Your specific work hours in the tutorial lab will be assigned by a computer program that matches your schedule and the desired staffing times. Please make sure your online schedule is always up to date. A first attempt at scheduling will be made before the first day of class. You will be notified by email. A second schedule is usually made during the second week of classes.
