Aide Expectations
Although I prefer Independent Studies (improves your GPA), I do occasionally admit an aide in my class. It is very important to me that such a candidate has had the same subject with me previously and done well (A or B) OR comes highly recommended from another instructor/counselor.
Expectations include:
- If you wish to use a computer, bring your own laptop
- Come to class on time and don't leave early
- Patrol the room for those needing help or warnings (off task)
- Help monitor pass use/abuse
- Intercept visitors and office notes
- Occasionally retrieve lunch from the cafeteria and return trays
- Clean up after the slobs and shut down idle workstations
Additional duties may include:
- Creation of a monthly newsletter for the class you are in
Potential bonus work for your English class?
- Class videographer during special events
- Testing software considered for future use
- Carefully putting together components for lab kits
- Pre-building/testing gizmos for upcoming labs
