Welcome to the Cheriton School of Computer Science (SCS) and congratulations on your position as a Sessional Instructor!
This website is designed to outline the primary tasks associated with teaching in the School. Each course has been carefully developed by a team of faculty, instructors, instructional staff and sometimes students to provide what the SCS considers the most relevant and practical tools for students pursuing education in Computer Science at all levels.
Sessional instructor basics
As a sessional instructor, you have access to the CS faculty web page, using your UWDir account and password. Here you will find a lot of useful information as well as teaching guidelines. The three sections linked below are the best place to start:
We also encourage you to review these Instructor support websites where you can find tips/suggestions for leading a course team, creating an inclusive learning environment, and dealing with special requests and situations.
If you are teaching a course supported by ISG, our guidelines for instructors in ISG courses feature a shortened list of instructor responsibilities.
Questions?
If you have any questions please contact the Undergraduate Operations Coordinator or visit the ISC/Course Allocation to determine which ISC is responsible for sessional support.
