Teaching Tips

Grading

• Enter your grades at https://ssc.adm.ubc.ca/fsc/servlets/SRVFSCFramework.
• An explanation as to what the percentage grades translate into in terms of letter grades can be found at http://students.ubc.ca/calendar/index.cfm?tree=3,42,96,0.
• Grad students must have an average of 80% and at least 72% in each course for it to count for their breadth requirements (see http://www/grads/affairs/Handbook.pdf)

Other

• There's a great set of resources for undergrad teaching at https://secweb.cs.ubc.ca/local/views/ta.shtml, including the great instructor manual at https://secweb.cs.ubc.ca/local/views/instructormanual/
• You can use https://ssc.adm.ubc.ca/fsc/servlets/SRVFSCFramework to give you a classlist for the classes you're teaching, or you can use the command "classlist [classnumber]" to give you a quasi-up-to-date listing.
• There's a calendar of dates at http://students.ubc.ca/calendar/download/IDatesandDeadlines.pdf. This calendar is awful. Surely there exists a better one. Does anyone know of a better one?
• The AMS has a database of old exams from classes at http://www.ams.ubc.ca/exams/index.cfm?subject=CPSC. Currently they only have exams from 315 and 430, but you may want to check there if you're planning on reusing things.
