What are the duties of a Teaching Assistant (TA)?
A. A typical first-year TA would do some combination of undergraduate grading, study hall, and leading calculus discussion sections. Second year TAs typically teach their own section of precalculus, combined with some grading and/or study hall. Later on, TAs usually teach their own calculus class, and advanced students sometimes grade for a graduate course. International students whose native language is not English usually postpone leading calculus discussion sections to their second year, and teaching their own course to the third year.
