Teaching Assistants are assigned to courses with 20 or more students if needed by the instructor, or upon request for a smaller class. TAs enhance the learning experience of Mishkah students by complementing the activities of the instructor, and receive technical training through the learning management system, Canvas and mentorship by the instructor. TA duties include taking attendance, recording each live session, distribing reading materials, facilitating creation of assignments, exams, or projects, and grading homework. All TAs must have previously taken and successfully completed the class they wish to assist in.
TA applications and requirements are sent out before the start of each semester to the student mailing list.
TA Testimonials
Working as a TA for Mishkah University is an enrichening experience. Not only do I get to see Muslim scholars in action, sharing their knowledge and interacting with students in a lively, learning environment, I also get to learn new information about the deen in the process. On numerous occasions, I have been very impressed with the quality of student participation, passion in asking questions and commitment to learning, despite having jobs to get to. The best part of being a TA is knowing that I am, in a small way, giving back to the world of Islamic Academia. In fact, it has inspired me to go back to school – Sr Norlizah M
