Undergraduate TA Information for Human Anatomy Lab
If you are interested in being an undergraduate TA (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 can participate during Spring, Summer Session A, or Fall semester:
Fall semester: After registering for your other courses (usually in April), contact
Ruth Heisler (Ruth.Heisler@colorado.edu) to register for the Fall IPHY 3010
course.
Spring semester: Contact Adam Hayes (adam.hayes@colorado.edu) for more
information on how to register for the Spring IPHY 3010 course.
Summer session: Contact Steve Hobbs (Steven.Hobbs@colorado.edu) for more information on how to register for the Summer IPHY 3010 course.
- 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.
- To apply for a UGTA position, fill out the UGTA application form (Word file) completely and send it to the course coordinator.
