What the handbook says

All second- and third-year students are normally expected to teach one section of the Laboratory C1903/1904 which meets for three-hour sessions one night a week for the eleven middle weeks of the semester. They are responsible in this capacity for designing a syllabus for the lab, conducting all lab sessions, supervising their assigned assistant TA, and providing evaluations of all student work, as well as a recommended final grade for each student. They are also expected to attend TA meetings and to participate in the collective activity of developing new laboratory exercises. They are required to distribute the Department’s teaching evaluation forms each term, and to arrange for their collection and return to the office by a student in the class. (For grading responsibilities, see below.) On occasion, there may be a need for a TA to discharge his/her teaching responsibilities in another undergraduate class. In these cases, the exact tasks may differ, but the weekly expectation of 10-12 hours per week will be the same.
