Typically a graduate student who teaches or assists a head of department in other ways. TAs may be the only instructors with whom students have contact hours in courses that are all-laboratory, but course material is usually chosen by the supervising faculty. In other disciplines, two-way student-instructor interaction is more highly valued, and many introductory-level courses are taught only in small class groups. TAs assigned to teach such courses in the humanities or the social fields often have more creative responsibility than TAs in technical fields.
