Doctoral Student Resources
- The Terry PhD Handbook provides doctoral students information pertaining to the procedures and requirements for the doctoral programs administered by the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia.
- The New Student Orientation is designed to be a resource for new students and provide an efficient method of identifying items that require a student’s immediate attention.
- Terry provides up-to-date placement history (PDF | 91 KB) data of recent doctoral graduates by department so students can understand the likely employment opportunities available once they have completed their studies. The table contains information of a student’s first placement and their current institution, as well as the major professor of each student.
Instructional Resources
- Instructional Resources (CTL)
Teaching Assistant Support, coordinated by the Center for Teaching and Learning, is dedicated to providing instructional support for the pedagogical development of graduate assistants in preparation for instructional responsibilities at the University of Georgia and in their future careers.
- Handbook for Graduate TAs
This handbook is provided for all graduate students with instructional responsibilities. It gives general information about teaching in the undergraduate classroom at the University of Georgia and a list of teaching resources.
- Classroom Conduct
Teaching assistants are expected to adhere to all general rules outlined in the handbook for graduate teaching assistants (above) and the rules outlined in this link.
- Evaluation of Teaching Performance
Teaching assistants will be evaluated at regular intervals by their students. The intervals are set by the department or school, and are maintained by the department as well. Non-performance will result in a formal review of the assistantship by the appropriate department head or school director, and the graduate coordinator, and the assistantship may be terminated.
Graduate School Resources
