TA/TM Day for Fall 2017 is running on Friday 8th September on Burnaby campus, from 8.15am to 4.30pm.

A wide variety of free workshops are available for Teaching Assistants and Tutor Markers of all levels of experience, with no registration required. Workshops cover multiple aspects of your job, such as leading tutorials, using  SFU's Canvas system, understanding what medical benefits are open to you, helping distressed students, and running labs and writing-intensive courses.

Full details of the day can be found here.

You are free to attend as many workshops as you wish. TAs and TMs can also claim this time toward the six contracted hours available for professional development and orientation during every semester in which they have an appointment. If you have attended TA/TM Day before, take the opportunity to benefit from material you may have missed last time.

Following the workshops is the TA/TM Day Social in Halpern Centre, from 5.30pm to 8.30pm. There will be a bar, and free burgers (meat or vegan) and punch. After this, the social continues at Club Ilia, with free appetizers available.
