From horton at cs.virginia.edu Wed Aug 11 12:11:03 2004 From: horton at cs.virginia.edu (Tom Horton) Date: Thu Mar 23 11:27:24 2006 Subject: [Ugrads07] Fall '04 Ugrad TAs/graders needed! Message-ID: <411A4517.4060401@cs.virginia.edu> Students taking CS/CpE classes: Interested in working as a TA for the CS department next fall term? We're looking for undergrads to be graders or TAs for many of our CS and CpE courses. You don't have to be a CS or CpE major. (So pass the word to any other non-majors who might be interested.) To apply, fill out form at http://www.cs.virginia.edu/jobs/ and look for the link for "Graders and TAs". (We have a new system for collecting application info. Info you enter this term will be kept for future terms.) For the fall we have large sections for CS201 and CS333. We need fewer undergrads for CS101 in the fall (than in spring). For both 101 and 201 we are looking for TAs with Java skills. The pay rates are on the Web application form. Good news -- there will be a raise this year (finally). The rates are not quite finalized. But there are reasons other than money why you might want to work for us. This is one way to get to know CS professors (perhaps to get a reference or find a Sr. Thesis advisor). It might be good for your resume. Perhaps most importantly, we in CS know that you undergrads play an important role in helping deliver high quality CS courses at UVa! We'll process the applications on Friday, August 27, and let you know if we can offer you a job before classes start. (If you need to know sooner, contact me.) Thanks! Enjoy the rest of your summer. P.S. Students often ask me if there's anything they can do to help them get the job with the course they want. The answer is to go talk to the instructor, so that he or she knows who you are and that you've applied. When we get all the applications, the instructors are sent a list of who applied and they tell us who they'd prefer to have. If you talk to the instructor at some point before we go over the applications, there is a better chance they're indicate that they'd like to have you working for them. -- Dr. Tom Horton, Associate Professor Dept. of Computer Science, University of Virginia 151 Engineer's Way, P.O.
