Work available: sessional assistants for social psyc papers...
Sessional assistants are needed for PSYC102 Social and developmental psychology, PSYC229 Contemporary issues and social psychology, and PSYC310 Psychology and gender. Sessional assistants will facilitate tutorial discussions, using materials provided by lecturers. They play an important role in marking assignments so their own work must be of a high standard. Sessional assistants are expected to attend lectures and sessional assistant meetings, take at least one tutorial per week, and undertake a portion of marking. To apply: complete the form available from the Psychology secretaries' office and include an academic transcript (please DO NOT email applications). Applications close on Monday 28 May and should be handed in at the School of Psychology office. Enquiries (not applications, please) can be sent to:
Dr Cate Curtis
