You get lots and lots and lots of debugging experience!
You get paid!
You really get to know the 126 & 226 & 217 material!
You get to see how other people approach the assignments
that you have once done...which is always an interesting
idea...
Requirements?
The only official requirements are that you have completed COS 126 (for COS126 lab TAs) or COS 226
and COS 217 (for COS226/217 lab TAs). You do not need to be a COS major or engineer.
Other than that, being a baller at COS, so you understand the material,
and also at teaching, so you can get others to understand it too, is pretty
helpful.
Becoming a Lab TA
The CS department hires Lab TAs and undergraduate graders near the beginning of each semester, using the same initial application. Hiring has closed for Spring 2021, but watch your email at the beginning of next semester for details about when we're hiring!
Here is some boring general administrativish information:
Pay grade I.
You are responsible for your own shifts -- so if you
ever can't make a shift, you are responsible for finding a
sub!
