TEACHING ASSISTANT POSITIONS FOR THE SUMMER ENTRY PROGRAM
JULY 5 – AUGUST 1, 2014
The Office of Academic Success Programs (OASP) is hiring Teaching Assistants for the Summer Entry Program (SEP) which is held here at the law school. The Teaching Assistants will work closely with the 15 1L students who attend the program.
Introduction to Legal Studies is a 2-credit, elective course taken by all SEP students. Dr. Jarmon will be the professor for the skills (legal reasoning, legal system, and legal writing) and academic success portions of the course. Professor Cochran will be the professor for the doctrinal portion. Dr. Tarenko will be the professor for the grammar and punctuation portion.
The Teaching Assistants work closely with Dr. Jarmon and Professor Cochran. Attendance at SEP classes and workshops will be necessary. Teaching Assistants will be responsible for small group sessions in both graded segments of the course. In addition to their course responsibilities, Teaching Assistants will act as mentors to the SEP students. Teaching Assistants will also be responsible for organizing several evening events.
It is preferred that the SEP Teaching Assistants work full-time during the SEP course. However, students who are working part-time for law firms or who are enrolled in summer school will be considered during the interview process if their schedules allow them to meet the SEP obligations. Although prior experience in the SEP course is strongly preferred, it is not a requirement for the positions.
Each Teaching Assistant will receive a $1,200 stipend for his/her work. A Teaching Assistant MUST be enrolled in Fall 2014 semester but does NOT have to be enrolled in summer school classes.

An electronic application was attached to the listserv e-mail sent to 1L and 2L students.
