Teaching Assistantship

A Teaching Assistantship is a paid position often held by graduate students or advanced learners, where they support a professor in managing course responsibilities. This can include grading assignments, leading discussion groups, assisting with lectures, or providing student support. It offers practical experience in teaching, benefits the instructor by sharing workload, and often helps the assistant develop their own understanding of the subject. Essentially, it’s a mutually beneficial role that combines teaching experience with financial or academic support during their studies.
