Graduate teaching assistantship

A graduate teaching assistantship is a paid position offered to graduate students, allowing them to assist professors with teaching responsibilities such as leading discussion sections, grading, and providing support to undergraduate students. It provides students with valuable teaching experience, mentorship, and financial assistance to help fund their advanced studies.

This role helps bridge academic learning with practical teaching skills, benefiting both the student and the institution.
