Course Readers

Duties normally include grading student papers and exams.  The Reader cannot be given the responsibilities customarily assigned to a graduate Teaching Assistant. Readers may be graduate students as well as qualified undergraduate students. Applicants mus be a current UCI student to qualify to be a reader. A 3.0 GPA and a satisfactory academic progress toward graduation are expected for appointment.  Preference is given to Readers who have taken the course.

The time commitment and duties vary widely, according to the needs of the particular course to which the reader may be assigned. Duties and work load can be affected by enrollment levels, type and number of assignments, style of exams, as well as other factors.
