Teaching Assistantships

MIR students exclusively provide Teaching Assistant (TA) support for our undergraduate EMPR courses and are an essential part of the teaching team in the department, providing a crucial personal link between the faculty instructor and the students. 

TA duties will primarily focus on marking assignments and exams, with the exception of EMPR 100, which will involve running tutorials. The number of hours that a TA can expect to devote to the position will be between 5-10 hours/week, so it is important to consider whether you are able to manage the additional responsibilities of a TA position alongside your academics. Course instructors will provide a schedule of assignments and estimated hours for TA duties for the term to assist in your planning. Any necessary training will be included in the assignment.

All Teaching Assistant appointments are governed by the Collective Agreement between the University and the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC). In addition, Teaching Assistants and the instructor of the course are asked to sign a Teaching Assistant Contract which sets out the expected duties of the position.
