Summary

Here is a brief summary of this document:

• At the start of each academic year ensure you register your skills, otherwise you will not be able to demonstrate. You may also need to complete an application form.
• At the start of each semester, you will be allocated to demonstrate for a number of hours for particular course units.
• Agree the demonstrating rota with the Laboratory Supervisor.
• Ensure that you promptly attend the sessions at which you are required; inform the Laboratory Supervisor as soon as you can if you will not be able to attend.
• Marking taking priority over helping.
• Aim to apply the given marking scheme in a consistent manner.
• Help means help: try not simply to tell students the answer -- show them how to work out the answer themselves.
• Ensure students use labprint and labmail, where necessary.
• Use the labprint sheets to record marks and to give constructive written feedback, and to indicate mistakes.
• Raise any problems with the Laboratory Supervisor: questions about the marking scheme; suspected plagiarism; students with problems.
• Do not spend too long with one student.
• Be proactive: if there is no marking and students are not requesting help, then walk around the laboratory and see how students are getting on.
• At the end of a laboratory session transfer your marks to the ARCADE Lab Book. Use a red pen. Initial any marks. Tick the appropriate `Completed By' column.
• Do not deal with attendance/lates/excuses/extensions -- the Laboratory Supervisor will do this.
