Liberal Education Courses with Seminars Led by Teaching Assistants

Liberal education courses marked in yellow are subsidized with teaching assistants (TAs). In such courses, every 20~25 students will be assigned a TA who is currently either a Master’s student or a Ph.D. student at NTU. The course instructors will discuss a seminar topic each week in advance with their TAs and instruct them how to conduct the TA-led discussion or recitation sessions. TAs will report student feedback to the course instructors, and are allowed to evaluate the students upon the approval from the course instructors. All Liberal education courses with TAs should include a one-hour discussion or recitation session per week.
