International Business School, Economics and Business Faculty Resource Guide

As a courtesy to fellow faculty members, please remember to:

• Erase whiteboards
• Place whiteboard markers back in their storage bin
• Log off of the computer 
• Turn off overhead projectors (Projector light bulbs burn out very quickly and are very expensive to replace)

All TA hiring is handled by Lauren Hasselriis-Ghom (IBS and undergraduate Business) and Leslie Yancich (undergraduate Economics). Lauren and Leslie email a link to a TA and RA request Google sheet each semester. If an instructor knows the student they wish to hire, they should enter the name and email address of the student in the Google sheet; they can also inform Lauren or Leslie of their intention to hire that student. No student may work in either department without completing all necessary paperwork with Lauren or Leslie.

Please refer to our best practices and tips for hiring and working with TAs/RAs

Important to note:

• TA support is subject to budget constraints and is thus available only for courses with 40 or more students and for courses which are writing intensive or have a significant number of problem sets.
• Make sure that the TA can communicate clearly, in addition to being fluent in the course matter.
• Some TA/RAs are PhD students; Program Director Linda Bui reviews and assigns PhD TAs/RAs based on instructors’ requests. 
• TAs should generally not exceed 10 hours of work per week unless otherwise discussed.
• Students will submit their hours through Workday and Lauren and Leslie will approve them.

There are many items that need to go into each class syllabus. To see the complete list, please see "Syllabus Checklist" and be sure to include all required sections and verbiage. 

IMPORTANT: To display your syllabus on LATTE, you must make it “public.” Follow these instructions for uploading your syllabus and making it public.
