Faculty review applications for positions in their courses and indicate their unranked preferences. They are also asked to indicate whether they regard any applicants as unqualified and why. A committee comprised of the Director or Associate Director, the Department Administrator, and two faculty members reviews the applications and faculty recommendations and makes its independent recommendations. The Director or Associate Director determines appointments. To be eligible for appointment, students must be making satisfactory progress toward the degree, as determined by their home unit. Ph.D. students will be limited to ten terms of teaching and masters students to four terms of teaching. Teaching while enrolled in a masters program counts toward the ten-term limit for students who go on for a Ph.D. All GSIs are required to participate in the course evaluation process. The Director or Associate Director will review evaluations of GSIs. If significant problems are apparent, they will make recommendations for remedying these.
