The Winter Quarter TA Orientation is an intensive introduction to the basic skills and policy information you will need to know to carry out your duties as a Stanford teaching assistant. If you have never been a TA before, this is an essential event. No Pre-Registration Required. Refreshments will be served. There will also be an orientation at the beginning of Spring Quarter: Thursday, March 31, 2005. In Tresidder Union, Cypress. We recommend that TAs attend the orientation closest to the onset of their teaching responsibilities.
