Please read the UW Notice concerning process for receiving and addressing student complaints and concerns in TA-assisted courses:

NOTICE:

In accordance with the UW System and Departmental Policies on Teaching Assistant Selection, Training, and Evaluation, all students should be notified of procedures concerning Teaching Assistants. The following statement (or modified as appropriate) should be included in syllabi for all TA-assisted courses each semester.

     "A student with a complaint about a TA initially meets with the Department Chair If indicated, the

     student then submits the complaint in a written and signed statement and a copy is given to the TA. A

     committee is formed, consisting of Department Chair (who also chairs the committee), the professor in

     whose course the complaint is made, and a third professor appointed by the Chair. This committee will

     weigh the evidence and prepare a written response with recommendations to resolve the issue."

If you need to ask me any questions, please e-mail me. If you are using email, please make sure that you supply your correct e-mail address, because I may not be able to respond if you wrote me from a terminal as "guest".
