一些建议

至少, students should have had at least one year of Abstract Algebra and one year of Analysis (real and complex) in their undergraduate preparation. It is helpful to list the textbooks used for these courses. Since our research is centered around 数论/表示论, 几何/拓扑/动力学, 代数几何, our aim is to accept only those students with an interest in at least one of these areas. The Statement of Purpose is a good place to describe this.

助教/特遣部队的责任

TAs usually work together with full-time 教师 in large lecture classes and conduct recitation sections, 问题会议, 也许还需要一些辅导. TFs usually are responsible for teaching one section of a core-level 数学 course in each semester. These activities require about 15 hours per week, above and beyond your attention to your own coursework. 

助教/ TF调度

一般, TA assignments in the fall semester of the first year are based on incoming students' course schedules. 在随后的学期中, scheduling preferences for the upcoming term are solicited from everyone involved. We try to accommodate everyone as best we can although some compromises are necessary each semester.

卓越教学奖

Teaching Fellows who achieve the greatest success as a TF will be considered for a Donald White Teaching Excellence Award, a cash prize given to outstanding graduate student teachers at 电子游戏软件.

电子游戏正规平台生教学研讨会

The department requires Teaching Assistants and Teaching Fellows to participate in a weekly seminar designed to help students develop and refine their classroom skills. A major component of this seminar is the use of case studies.

升值
