Teaching Assistant Appointments
The Jane Addams College of Social Work offers graduate courses under the SOCW rubric.

The teaching assignment may include a practice course sequence (e.g. Practice I and Practice II) or two unrelated courses.
All courses are enrollment driven. For elective courses, if there are fewer than ten students registered for the course, the course may be cancelled in accordance with Jane Addams College of Social Work policy.

TAs in JACSW courses are the instructor of record but are not responsible for syllabi development. The typical TA duties for JACSW courses involve instructing assigned courses, maintaining office hours, grading assignments, monitoring the course Blackboard site, and other related duties as assigned. Teaching Assistants must meet with their course consultant before the start of the semester to discuss specific TA expectations for their courses.
Teaching Assistants are appointed based on academic qualifications, completion of doctoral program coursework, and approval by doctoral program director. Teaching Assistants are reappointed based upon successful course evaluations.
