Undergraduate College welcomes you to our First-Year Experience team.
As a Signature Course Teaching Assistant (SC TA), you play a vital role in one of the most innovative university-wide core curriculum programs in the country. You will gain valuable training and experience in interdisciplinary teaching while helping to guide and mentor young people at the very beginning of their college careers. While each Signature Course is unique in scope and content, all are designed around the core Signature Course objectives of teaching first-year students the academic skills and resources they need to be successful at UT and beyond.
Signature Course Teaching Assistants are expected to attend SC TA kick-off meeting each semester they are serving as a SC TA and enroll and participate in GRS 097: Fundamentals for TAs during their first semester serving as a SC TA.
Undergraduate College offers a number of resources to help you plan and execute successful and engaging discussion sections. For more information on SC Essential Elements, campus resources, and contact information, please check out our Signature Course Faculty Resource page.
