What are the responsibilities in the case of research/teaching assistant (RA/TA)?
In theory the commitment is 20 hours per week. The time commitment and the responsibilities differ from department to department and from professor to professor. Some TAs are only responsible for photocopies, others have to design projects and exams, or correct homework and exams. • Q: What is the procedure for picking an advisor? A: This differs from department to department. Don’t worry though, there are enough good professors at MIT, and once you come here it will be easy to find one.
