Are you looking for a TA position in term 2 (January – April 2016)?
There is currently an opening for a TA on the team for FNH 473 (Nutrition Education in the Community). FNH 473 focuses on taking a population health approach to issues in nutrition and focuses on health promotion strategies, health behaviour theories, and the current Canadian context for community/public health nutrition (however no particular background in nutrition is required for you to be effective in your role). The position would be for 83 hours in term 2 and would include an initial training session, weekly TA meetings, ~10 weeks of supporting small student working groups on Monday afternoons (Mondays between 2 PM and 4 PM), and some marking (with clear rubrics and lots of support provided). In your work with student groups, you will be trained to use a modified problem-based learning (PBL) approach to help facilitate and support the groups’ work and learning.
For more information about the course, please refer to the syllabus (available here: http://courses.landfood.ubc.ca/files/FNH_473.pdf).
If you would like to apply for this position, please contact the instructor, Dr. Candice Rideout, by email at candice.rideout@ubc.ca as soon as possible.
