We are currently investigating the establishment of a
University-wide scheme of postgraduate teaching
assistantships to standardise practice across the
University.
I would appreciate any comments from colleagues whose
institutions run such schemes - in particular I am
interested to know if students are employed as members of
staff on contract and if so, how employment vs student
status affects their tax position etc.
How are tuition fees for student registration dealt with?
Does the Dept pay the fee on behalf of the student or are
the fees waived centrally?
What level of teaching load is expected of teaching
assistants and what, if any, induction training is provided?
If anyone has any information they could send me on their
scheme I would also appreciate this.
Many thanks
Liz
