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
