examine environmental problems and their solutions in the world today.

Duties and responsibilities

TFs are expected to (1) organize and run discussion groups (on campus or online, depending

grade assignments. They are also expected to provide logistical assistance to the course instructor.

Two TFs will be assigned per Foundation Course (usual class size: 100 students). TFs should:
1. Lead 3 discussion sections of about 17-18 students (three 1-hour meetings a week for a total of 3

hours);

2. Hold two sets of office hours a week for each discussion section (that’s 3 sections x 2 meetings

for 1 hour each with for a total of 6 hours) and be available during designated office hours for

students to consult;

3. Provide critical and constructive comments on all written work submitted by students;

4. Grade in a timely fashion all student assignments, quizzes and exams assigned during the

semester;

5. Provide students online access to the course readings and other prescribed material via Google

hours);

7. Do the readings assigned for the day;

8. Assist the Professor(s) with logistical support for the course lectures, including taking

projector for PowerPoint presentations, etc.

9. Meet the professor at least once a week to discuss the objectives and lesson plan for any given

week’s discussion sections;

10. If asked, teach a segment of the lecture to develop the skills to communicate with a large

audience.
The workload presumes a minimum of 12 contact hours a week with students in class and office

hours. In addition, TFs will be expected to devote sufficient time to class preparation, grading, in-
class writing, quizzes and other student projects. Sufficient time will also be expected to be set

aside for the assigned readings that the students are doing, as well as to assist the instructor in

setting up class PPTs, arranging seating, and generally attending to the needs of the course.
