DEPARTMENT OF Biology

Lake Ecology Field Course 2008

Application for Teaching Assistants

The current application window is for the spring 2020 semester

Note, however, that initial review of applications takes place before the end of this window, typically by about week 11 or earlier of the preceding semester. If in doubt about the review date, check with Dr. Cullum before applying.

Important information

• Students from any major may apply to be Biology teaching assistants. Sophomores are welcome to apply, but most students accepted are juniors and seniors.
• Successful applicants are expected to register for BIO 490 (one credit-hour course for lab TAs) or 492 (lecture TAs), one credit-hour courses relating to your work as a teaching assistant. All TAs must register for one of these courses regardless of major.
• Biology majors with two semesters of BIO 490 credit (or with BIO 490 credit for two different lab courses in one semester) may use BIO 490 in place of one of the four upper-division lab courses required for the major.

Application procedure

• All fields in bold should be filled in. Other fields should be completed as relevant. If you are interested in TAing an upper-division course, it is generally wise to contact the instructor to discuss the position.
• You should receive an email confirming your application. If you do not, or if you have other questions about TAships and the application process, please contact Dr. Cullum: acullum@creighton.edu.
• The department will contact you after we have reviewed the applications. Please be aware that a variety of factors, including applicants’ schedules, determines which inviduals eventually fill our available positions.

Biology Courses

• For each biology or support course you have taken or are taking at Creighton, please select the semester and the grade you received. For current courses, use midterm grades if known, otherwise enter “IP” (for “in progress”). If you did not take a course, please leave all the fields for that course blank.
• For courses you took somewhere other than Creighton, find the closest equivalent course in the list and choose “Elsewhere” from the semester dropdown. Choose the appropriate grade if you took the course at another college, or “N/A” if you received AP credit or equivalent.
• Courses that require TAs display radio buttons for teaching preferences. Please indicate those course(s) you would want to teach, those you could teach if needed, and any courses you would not be willing to teach. You can also select a single top choice, if desired.
• The General Biology courses are currently transitioning from course numbers 211 & 212 to 201 & 202 (for lecture) and 205 & 206 (for lab). Please indicate the course you actually took when indicating the semester and grade, but use the new course numbers to indicate the lab (or lecture) you wish to TA.
