Undergraduate Supervised Teaching

Catalog description

The UTA (undergraduate teaching assistant) will assist the TA (graduate teaching assistant) section instructor in the education of undergraduate students in a pre-approved class. The undergraduate TA will earn 1-3 undergraduate elective credits for the experience, depending on how many hours per week they serve and will have the opportunity to be an “apprentice teacher.” UTAs will master the material in the course, develop and teach good quality study habits, and acquire experience teaching. Undergraduate Teaching Assistantships (UTAs) add value to the academic experience, both as a learning experience for those who teach and as an opportunity for students to experience unique perspectives and approaches to classroom learning. Students may earn no more than 6 semester hours by working as UTA’s.
