Statistics course assistants have an opportunity to engage and provide a positive experience in a multitude of ways to those who rely on them. Did you know that by being a course assistant you could be a vital part of the success of the course you are assigned to? Course assistants can offer many services that may include grading, holding office hours, mentoring, exam proctoring, or other activities that contribute to the success of a course. Not only do course instructors rely on a timely, well-organized, and knowledgeable course assistant to aid in the successful delivery of the course, but students enrolled in the course also rely on a responsible course assistant who is ready to mentor, motivate, and be engaged in the student's active learning goals.

Faculty

Any faculty member at the Statistic Department can create a position. If you are unable to create a position, please contact the site manager (ytliu@illinois.edu). See the expandable sections for further details on how to create a job posting. 

I am co-teaching a course with another instructor. When I create a position for the course, how can I make it so that the position will also show up in the other instructor's "Your Position" section when he/she logs in to the system?

When you click "Add new position" button, you will be asked to fill out a form. There is an "editors" field in the form, which autofills with your netid. You can add more netid's in the field (separated by commas). For example, if you enter: NetID1, NetID2, NetID3 in that field.

Instructors with the three netid's will see the position listed in their "Your Position" section and they all can edit the information of the position. However, the netid's you enter must correspond to the Statistics faculty members on our faculty page. If you want to include faculty members outside the Statistics department, please contact the site manager (ytliu@illinois.edu).

How do I migrate my previous CA position to a new term?
