To improve teaching quality, motivate students, and cultivate outstanding teaching assistants, NCHU offers funding for TAs in University-level general education courses and college-level (including inter-college) general core courses for undergraduate programs. The roles of the TAs include leading group discussions, explaining how to solve practice problems and conducting experiments. Each semester, NCHU selects the best TAs from the university and college level courses and awards them for outstanding performance.

Students with formal NCHU student status may serve as TAs for general education courses. Look here for information on application procedures and deadlines, the forms you’ll need, and the applicable rules and guidelines.

Each top-level unit will receive requests via official letter to conduct evaluations of its faculty members and report the evaluation results to the Personnel Department and the University.
