Copyright Guide

It is important to be aware of your rights and responsibilities related to use of copyrighted works as part of your teaching.

Student Support Services

The Support at Brandeis site is a centralized list of support resources available to Brandeis Students, with tailored lists for undergraduate and graduate students.

Training

The purpose of Brandeis's TA/CA/TF training is to prepare you to engage with some of the most important legal, social and pedagogical considerations that instructors must navigate in higher education. Your participation will not only prepare you for teaching at Brandeis but also hone your skills as an educator.

The program includes 3-3.5 required hours of training. An additional hour of preparation is required for all international TAs, CAs, and TFs. Your participation and completion will be tracked in Workday.

Where and how do I complete the required training?

There are four separate trainings, all offered via Zoom (unless otherwise specified) and all in Eastern time.. If you completed a given training in a previous semester, you do not need to complete it again. To view the trainings you have completed, visit your student profile in Workday; click on "Personal" in the left-hand sidebar and then on "Additional Data" at the top of the screen. You will see any list of trainings; any that you have completed will have a completion date alongside them.
