Excel time sheet for TAs

Dear TAs and Colleagues,

 Meg Wu has shared with us the Excel template she uses for keeping track
of the time she devotes to TA duties. It may be useful to you as well. Access it here:

 If any of you have any ideas or resources that might useful to the rest
of us, please do share them!

 Many thanks to Meg!

Questions for student evaluation form

Some TAs and teachers feel that the questions students are asked to evaluate TAs at the end of the semester are not appropriate for DFLL use, since they were mainly designed for use by the Japanese department. The form currently includes questions like, "Did the TA help correct students' pronunciation?" and "Did the TA attend every class?" DFLL TAs may not, for example, be expected to do either of these.

We need new questions to make the evaluation form more appropriate for use with DFLL TAs. Please contribute your suggested questions in comments on this post, so we can draft a new evaluation form. Thank you!

Karen Chung
