Abstract

Numerous teaching and research assistantships are available to graduate students; in almost all cases, they are awarded to students who intend to study for the Ph.D. degree. Ordinarily, support for first-year students takes the form of teaching assistantships, although in unusual cases a research assistantship may be made available. Typically, a teaching assistant will supervise undergraduate laboratory sections and grade lab reports, quizzes and/or exams.
