Notes

Marking Only and Help Centre jobs are more independent so a higher a GPA and experience is required.
Marking must be done in a timely manner and undergraduate Physics TAs don’t work in the exam period, so all marking must be returned by the first day of exams.
Physics TAs typically work ~40 hours per term, including marking. If a position is expected to provide 25 hours or fewer, the reduced load is indicated by ‘red.’ Strong senior TAs may be offered two smaller jobs, for example, Help Center TA and Setup assistant.
Job offers are schedule specific so e-mail cpettipa@mta.ca if you discover a conflict or have questions.
