-TAs must sign in to the tutoring room in the online Tutor Sign In Log. If a TA fails to sign in to the tutoring room, the TA is required to hold a make-up office hour in the next week. In the event of a conflict with a tutoring hour, TAs must find a replacement to cover the tutoring hour, except in case of illness or in an emergency. In the latter two cases, the TA should contact the front office as soon as feasible so as to find a replacement TA. Missing a tutoring hour without an acceptable reason will result in the TA holding an additional make up tutoring hour the following week. If you need help in finding a replacement tutor, please contact the Physics Front Office.+TAs must sign in to the tutoring room in the online Tutor Sign In Log.
