1. Marking of Midterms and Final Exams:
The Supervising Instructor is required to mark the midterm tests and final exams. No Graduate Assistant (GA) is allowed to mark midterm tests and final exams.

2. Meeting with the Supervising Instructor to Discuss Duties/Responsibilities
The Supervising Instructor is the RFA professor or the CUPE 1 instructors responsible for the delivery of the course that the Graduate Assistant is appointed to assist with.

i) Initial Meeting: The first meeting with the Supervising Instructor is after the Graduate Assistant receives and accepts their letter of appointment. The purpose of this meeting is to review and confirm the hours of work, the start date/end date, the assigned duties, the expected hours of work breakdown, the standard of performance expected, etc. If it is determined at this meeting that changes need to be made to the Workload Form, e.g., a redistribution of duties, the Supervising Instructor will revise the Workload Form and they, along with the Graduate Assistant, must sign the Form. The Graduate Assistant must receive a copy of the revised Form. If there is a change to the hours, the Supervising Instructor must share the revised Workload Form with the Administrative Assistant so they can complete a job change. If more hours are required this needs to be discussed with and approved by Associate Chair, Undergraduate Studies prior to revising the Workload Form and completing a job change.

ii) Midpoint Meeting: The second meeting is at the midpoint of the semester. It is a shared responsibility between the Supervising Instructor and the Graduate Assistant to ensure that the total hours of work as defined in the letter of appointment and Workload Form are not exceeded on a semester basis. As such, this midpoint meeting is to confirm that the assigned hours are sufficient to carry out the assigned duties.

Again, at this meeting, if the Supervising Instructor determines that there is a redistribution of duties, they must complete a revised Workload Form and share a copy with the Graduate Assistant. If there is a change in the number of hours they will be working, they must revise the Workload Form and share it with the Administrative Assistant so they can complete a job change. Again, if more hours are required this needs to be discussed with and approved by Associate Chair, Undergraduate Studies prior to revising the Workload Form and completing a job change. Any time there is a revision to the Workload Form both the Supervising Instructor and the Graduate Assistant must sign the revised Form and the Graduate Assistant must receive a copy of the revised Form.

3. Graduate Assistant Evaluations

5. Developing and Marking Assignments:
The Supervising Instructor is responsible for developing assignments that are different from those used in the preceding course offering.

The Supervising Instructor is also responsible for developing model assignment solutions, which shall be shared altogether with marking scheme or evaluation rubrics to GAs. The GA is responsible for understanding the assignment solutions in order to effectively implement the marking scheme.

6. Requirements for GA position:
