The COPH requirement mandates that PhD students must serve as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for at least one course and act as the official Instructor of Record (IOR) for at least one course.  Graduate Teaching Assistants (TAs) at USF are hired by individual departments/schools and fulfill a variety of instructional roles, which include serving as an instructor of record, grader, and/or teaching assistant.

Teaching Assistant (TA)

• TA Training: A one-day introduction to graduate student teaching at USF. This training is required of all TAs at USF-Tampa (Academic Affairs and USF Health)
• Preparing for College Teaching (PCT) Course: An optional ten-week program that provides TAs with an experience that helps them prepare to become college instructors or professors.

Instructor of Record (IOR)
