Undergraduate TA Information for Human Anatomy Lab

If you are interested in being an undergraduate teaching assistant (UGTA) for the Human Anatomy Lab course (IPHY 3415), here is the important information:

  • Prerequisite is receiving a B or better in Human Anatomy Lab. If you are currently enrolled in the lab, you can be provisionally accepted as a UGTA if your anatomy exam average meets the requirement, but you must maintain a B or better at the end of the semester.
  • You will be enrolled in IPHY 3010-801: Teaching in Integrative Physiology, which is a 2 credit course. You can enroll in this up to two times (for 4 credits total).
  • You must attend the preparatory review meetings in order to participate as a UGTA. Ask the instructor in charge (see above) for the specific day and time you will need to attend review meetings. (In the past this has often been Fridays 2-3 pm, although this may change.) If you cannot attend the designated review, you will not be allowed to be an undergrad TA.
  • Your grade is based on attendance at labs and review sessions, preparation, interaction with ALL of the students, ability to communicate well with the students, etc.
  • UGTAs are invited to assist with cadaver dissection, although this is not required.
  • You can participate during Spring, Summer Session A, or Fall semester.
