Overview
The primary duty of Readers is assistance in the reading and grading of students’ papers, homework, and exams. They may also be required to hold office hours. These duties are performed under the guidance and supervision of faculty “Instructors of Record” who are vested with the sole and final responsibility for grading policies and procedures in the assigned course. Readers must have earned at least a grade of “B” in the course for which they are reading and are not to be used as Teaching Assistants or Graduate Student Researchers. Service as a Reader does not count as qualifying experience for a Teaching Associate or Teaching Fellow appointment.
A student may not serve as a Reader in a course in which he or she is enrolled. Students may not simultaneously serve as a Teaching Assistant and as a Reader or Tutor for the same course.
For additional information on the reader title, appointment, promotion, etc., please review the APM-420.
