Undergraduate Teaching Assistantship

Catalog description

As a DART teaching assistant, you will activate your learning in ways that will reinforce and enrich your understanding of Digital Arts and Media Design course material. In addition to this intellectual benefit, working as a teaching assistant is excellent professional experience that enhances skillsets including planning, organization, collaboration, time management, critique, and effective communication. Finally, teaching assistantships are a great way to cultivate strong relationships with faculty in a team setting who may become mentors and personal and professional resources. Specific duties of undergraduate teaching assistants might include leading discussions, demonstrations, and critiques; holding office hours; doing research or creating materials for the instructor; and performing tasks related to the course (e.g. taking attendance or keeping records). Grading of exams and assignments is not an appropriate task for undergraduate TAs.
