How much work is expected for a UTA?
Each section is assigned one Lead UTA and at least two regular UTAs. The Lead UTA is in charge of the section. Each TA is expected to be present for the 3-hour period helping with the labs. In addition, a 1-hour meeting is sometimes held (required only for Lead TAs). During the summer, a student’s workload is compressed, adding about 50% more work each week. Similarly, a TA in the summer works about 4.5 hours each week, instead of 3.
