LA/Geog 188 GSI
The GSI in LA/Geog188 is required to help in maintaining the class website and any electronic news group or bulletin board being used in the class. The GSI is required to help prepare and go over the material in the laboratory sessions (exercises) ahead of time to insure each laboratory is functional. This includes checking to insure all software, hardware, links, files, data files and directories are operational in the computer laboratory being used by the students. The GSI should check the operational status of all the computers in the laboratory once a week and log any problems. The GSI should be aware of their students and which lab on campus they are doing their homework in so the GSI can check weekly those laboratories for sound operation. The GSI is required to make any changes in the laboratories to make them more effective for the students...but must coordinate this effort with the professor and the other GSIs.
The GSI is required to lead the lab sessions where the use of software is taught and assignments carried out. During these sessions they will demonstrate where necessary and help students as they undertake each exercise.
The GSI will have 2 hours/week in the classroom and 2 office hours outside of normal times. Another 2 hours per week will be spent tuning the laboratory assignments and the rest of the time will be spent grading the lab exercises and helping to grade the mid-term and final exam. The total in class and student contact will be approximately 4 hours per week with 6 remaining hours spent on marking and helping prepare lab assignments and ancillary materials.
