LA Application Form - Winter 2020 - Priority Deadline is Thursday, November 7th at 11:59 PM
Welcome to the Application for New LAs, Returning LAs, and Pedagogy/Logistical Head LAs!

After the priority deadline is passed, APPLICATIONS ARE STILL WELCOME, especially for courses with an asterisk!

The list of courses is still being regularly updated, so you can find an up-to-date list on the application or this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/2/d/e/2PACX-1vTic3sGVnCR-M9F49hUZDB2kOSBlnhczkZ5oOLYrZUN8XWLBWFZYZMMyARGLssWNeq2_1iXI3cyepIQ/pubhtml?gid=2067227366&single=true

WHO SHOULD APPLY?
If you're still uncertain about whether or not to apply, especially if you don't yet feel qualified, we encourage you to go ahead and apply! (You can save your responses to re-use in future quarters.) Many LAs who didn't expect to get in were pleasantly surprised to be welcomed to the program, since we focus more on capacity for growth than grades or teaching experience.

WHAT IS THE LA PROGRAM?
You can learn more about the LA (Learning Assistant) program here: https://ceils.ucla.edu/learningassistants/for-prospective-learning-assistants/.
As a new Learning assistant and applicant you will be required to attend Pedagogy Seminar on TUESDAY 4-5:10 PM

WHAT IS MEANT BY THE PRIORITY DEADLINE?
Applications will continue to be accepted after the deadline, especially for courses with an asterisk*. After the priority deadline, certain instructors will start selecting applicants. But most applications will be reviewed in late November and early December, in case you need more time to apply, especially those with multiple asterisks***. Acceptances will be sent out a week by Week 9.

WHAT IS PEDAGOGY SEMINAR?
Pedagogy Seminar is a MANDATORY seminar TUESDAYS 4:00 - 5:10 PM that new LAs and Pedagogy Head LAs must attend. In this seminar we discuss and practice many evidence-based pedagogy techniques that you will utilize as an LA in your sections.

MUST BE FREE TUESDAY 4:00 PM - 5:10 PM

PHYSICAL SCIENCE INFO SESSION SLIDES:

Indicate your preferred courses
There are more than 30 LA-supported courses, and we usually have more than 500 applicants for fewer than 350 spots. So although we try to place LAs into their first choice course, many get assigned to lower-preference courses.

If you do not wish to indicate a second or third choice, etc., please select "N/A".  Note that this will decrease your chances of being accepted.

We give priority to students who have taken the class with the professor that they intend to work with.

For transfer students who did not take many of these courses on campus: we recommend focusing on courses being taught by a given instructor for the first time.

You can also see a list of courses here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTic3sGVnCR-M9F49hUZDB2kOSBlnhczkZ5oOLYrZUN8XWLBWFZYZMMyARGLssWNeq2_1iXI3cyepIQ/pubhtml?gid=2067227366&single=true

*An asterisk indicates a high need for LAs.

For all the courses you indicated an interest in, please list the professor you had for the course and the grade received (i.e. Course - Professor - Grade Received - Quarter You Took The Course). *
If you have not yet completed the course, indicate your expected grade. If you had a big improvement between first exam grade and final exam grade, please note that here. If you are a transfer student, please indicate the grade for the course equivalent. Example: Chem153A - Tienson-Tseng - B
OPTIONAL: Any Additional Preferences?
i.e. Are you looking to work with a specific professor? Are you interested in a class that wasn't listed (which is unlikely to work out, but happy to hear the request)? etc.
In the next section, we'll ask you to tell us more about you, so we can ensure the program is a good fit for your interests.
