Applicants are asked to indicate their study background, teaching experience and course preferences. This data, along with the preferences of course coordinators for experienced tutors, will be taken into account in matching tutors to courses.  However it is expected that RHD students will have or will quickly acquire the skills to teach undergraduate material across the IT and/or electrical engineering disciplines.  Where necessary, additional course-specific training will be provided by course coordinators.

Senior academic staff of the School are appointed to make the allocations in consultation with teaching staff.  Allocations occur before the beginning of semester, but are not necessarily final until Week 2 or Week 3 of semester.  A tutor may see a reduction in his/her hours or be assigned to a different course.  This does not reflect on the tutor involved:  it is usually due to unresolved timetabling constraints or fluctuations in enrolments.

Email is the primary method of communicating with prospective tutors, so please  monitor it regularly in the period around the start of semester.
