adjunct teaching assistant

Is Ashford the only school that has these teaching assistant positions?

 

I've worked for Ashford for over two years and love it. The hiring process can take a while because they are understaffed, but it is worth the wait. I've worked on class after another for over two years without a problem. I love it there.

 

The pay varies depending on the course. I typically get $1000 a month. You are not allowed to grade for more than one course at a time. Because of that you have courses overlap as some courses don't have grading until the end of the second week.

 

Working as TA at Ashford

I began the application process in February of 2012 and finally began working in late August. I am now TAing for my second course and I have no complaints. The pay (in my estimation) is good -- $1000 for a 5-week course. You grade 4 writing assignments (1 per weeks 2 - 5). Everyone is very professional and helpful. You do work with an instructor -- some are more "hands-on" than others. You are more or less "independent" of the instructor -- he/she has his/her responsibilities and you have yours. You have a Writing Instructional Specialist who supervises your work and answers your questions. It's a great part-time position. So far, I have worked two classes in a row. I'm hoping for it to continue this way. I feel fortunate to have found them.
Best of luck!
