We are looking for Teaching Assistants for the following courses (2022-2023 teaching year). If interested, please contact the teacher whose details are provided in the post.

Period 1

BA-Level Courses

Introduction to Language Technology (KIK-405): This is a first-year BA course, and for many students the first contact with command-line tools, scripts and corpus linguistics tools. You will be in charge of weekly face-to-face support sessions, but also advise and help students remotely. The contents of the course are not particularly challenging, but you should be familiar with regular expressions and basic Python programming. Sensibility for the mindsets of starting Humanities BA students is crucial. Proficiency in Finnish is desirable. It is an advantage (but not a requirement) if you have followed the course as a student before.

The tasks for the TA will include helping in detecting needs for update in existing teaching and quiz material (for changing versions of software libraries and tools), helping with planning and grading of the final project, and assisting with the exercise sessions.
