You get a lump-sum of about $5000-$6000 a semester, depending whether you are in PhD or Masters. It's not by hour, but they expect you to work about 17 hours per week?

When I was a TA... I probably worked 5-6 hours a week, including tutorial hours (4 hours).

Obviously marking midterms/exams take longer, but not that long.



Don't know what going on with TSSU... but I think the wages are fair, if tuition is stable, considering TA have ZERO training to teach, and some can barely speak English.
