How many hours does a TA work?
TAs are appointed on a percent time basis. Most of our TAs are 50% appointments and work 20 hours per week. We also offer 25% (10 hours per week). These levels of work are typical, however some appointments may require more effort and others less. Under no circumstances should a 50% TA work more than an average of 25 hours per week. The TA should consult the course instructor and possibly the MS&E TA administrator if the workload is too heavy.
