Teaching Assistanships, Felowships, etc.

[Natalia Pylypiuk]

Dear Colleagues,

I turn to those among you who are course coordinators, especially
within language programs:
Would you please let me know, off line,

(1)  who in you department is responsible for assigning
Teaching Assistantships  and/or Teaching Fellowships to Graduate
Students -- the Course Coordinator or the department's graduate office?
  Does anyone else have a voice?

(2) does the coordinator get to see the graduate student's file before
any decisions are made?

(3) in cases where teachers of course sections are sessional
instructors (rather than
graduate students), is there a regular review of their performance by
the coordinator?

(4) who keeps the files containing undergraduate student evaluations of
  the teaching performance of Graduate Student Teachers and/or Sessional
teachers?  Is it the coordinator?  Someone else?

I would be most grateful for your responses.

Best,

Natalia Pylypiuk
U of Alberta
