  • College-Based Fee Math Workshop Positions Available for 2008-2009
    In winter quarter, the Math Department will be accepting applications for workshop leaders for Math 248, Math 306, Math 412, and Math 481 for the 2008-2009 academic year. Please note that these are the ONLY courses for which the Mathematics Department organizes workshops; calculus and precalculus workshops are organized by Student Academic Services, and you should contact SAS to apply for facilitator positions at the precalculus and calculus level (see ad below).

    The workshops are scheduled in the evenings (two nights per week). The Math 306, Math 412, and Math 481 facilitators work during Fall Quarter and Winter Quarter. The Math 248 facilitator works all three quarters. Based on past salaries, you will be paid approximately $1950 per quarter, and you receive priority registration for the quarters that you work.

    You should have received A's in the classes that you will facilitate, and you should ideally have some experience beyond the course itself. For example, it is nice if the 306 facilitator has taken Math 481 or 412, and if the Math 412 facilitator has taken the entire sequence Math 412-413-414. Previous workshop experience in the SAS calculus workshops is also desirable. Please email Linda Patton indicating which workshop(s) you would like to teach. The deadline for application is in April. We will let you know whether or not you are selected by the end of spring 2008 finals week.
