Information for Prospective TAs

Here are some things to know if you're potentially interested in being a TA for one of my courses:

I am currently unable to offer positions to Masters students, especially those outside of the CS Department. I have no control over this, so please don't ask.
A half-time TA position is 10hrs/week, and a full-time position is 20hrs/week. You need to be prepared to work that much every week, though often you will only need to work half to three-quarters of that amount.
My courses generally involve a lot of manual grading, and require fast turn-around so that students can resubmit their work when necessary. That means a target of 72 hours in most cases, but no more than 1 week, which should be rare. Assignment submissions arrive throughout the semester, so you must be prepared to grade on that timescale for the entire semester.
If you are a PhD student, you must verify with your research advisor that this is acceptable to them, and they will respect your time commitment to the course. My TA allocations are determined by student enrollment, and I need all of my TAs to actually work their required hours. This is paying your tuition remission and stipend, and is a real job, not a sinecure. In particular, you cannot disappear for a full week due to a paper deadline. Have your advisor contact me if they have concerns about this.
