Work as a Learning Assistant next semester!
by Green & Gold News |
Learning Assistants (LAs) are UAA students who support, guide, and assist fellow students
in high demand courses. LAs are embedded in ‘gateway’ courses that are critical for
students to progress in their chosen degree path. Gateway courses require students
to demonstrate comprehension of course material so that they are prepared to complete
other major requirements. LAs help students in these courses articulate, defend and modify their ideas by facilitating
conversations, discussions, and in-class activities. LAs work closely with their lead
faculty (the faculty member teaching the course the LA is assigned to) and attend
onboarding and training with other LAs. LAs are employees of the Learning Commons
which is the home of many free peer learning services including tutoring, coaching,
and more. Available courses change every semester. This semester may have availability
in: MATH, BIOL, ACCT, PHYS, STAT, PSY.
