What is the total number of TA hours that may be used over a career?

The total number of TA hours allocated for use over a career is set at 120 hours. This figure is established to ensure that individuals have sufficient time to fulfill their teaching assistant responsibilities while also balancing their other commitments or coursework. The 120-hour limit reflects a thoughtful approach to the distribution of workload, allowing for adequate support in educational settings without overwhelming the assistants.

This structure also promotes effective teaching practices and enhances the overall learning experience for students. By having a clear cap on TA hours, institutions can manage resources effectively and ensure that assistants can contribute meaningfully without overextending their availability or performance.
