Specific Considerations
Where applicable applicants should have taken the relevant course, demonstrating a strong level of understanding of the material.
For COMP 1631 applicants:
A TA holding this position will help guide students during integrated in-class activities, labs, and discussions.
There will be two 2-hour in-person classes per week. TAs are also expected to review class material (as provided) in preparation for each class.
They may also be called on to assist with various help sessions, tutorials, assignment grading, and other tasks throughout the term.
Preference will be given to applicants available for both classes of the same section, (Mon/Fri or Tue/Thu), but this is not strictly required to apply.
Classes requiring TA support begin in the first week of classes, Sept. 8th鈥11th.
Hiring is expected to be complete around August 28th as some training may be held during the week preceding classes, (August 30th鈥揝eptember 5th). Applicants should expect to be available during this period.
For COMP 1991 applicants:
COMP 1991 is a proposed new introductory course being piloted this fall. A potential TA could have either a Computer Science or Data Science background. From the draft syllabus:
鈥This course focuses on foundational principles of computing through the lens of data. The aim is to serve as a branching point to either MATH 1311, COMP 1731 or as a terminal course for students who want to use computing/programming in other disciplines.鈥
A TA holding this position will assist students in the completion and evaluation of the weekly 90-minute labs. They may also be asked to assist with assignment grading external to the labs.
There will be two lab sections, (both on Monday afternoons), and a TA could be hired for either one of or both of the labs. TAs are also expected to spend time each week reviewing material (as provided) in preparation for each lab.
If you have questions about this course, please contact Rob Allen (rallen@mta.ca).
For COMP 2611 applicants:
A TA holding this position will assist with the weekly 3-hour lab, (including review and preparation time).
They may also be asked to assist with lab and assignment grading.
