   * Jodi: if there are additional TA candidates left after primary assignments are made, she would appreciate having a TA assigned to her (though she is making no formal request)
   * John: Matt Stein, interested in astronomy/astrophysics, may make an excellent candidate for the Astro course + labs.

+===== Simon Dalley =====
+<code>
+
+lab (supervision and grading) 6+6 hrs
+assignments (grading) 6 hrs (native or
+good command of English essential)
+
+help sessions (shared between two 1303 sections
+and one 1307 section) 10 hrs - I suggest we cover
+this with 3 TAs and 2hrs/day with 2 TAs present at
+any one time. Check with Ryszard and Roberto.
+assignments and tests (grading) 10 hrs
+</code>
+Private note: try to assign two TAs to Simon for this course, one with a heavier load and a lighter for the other.
+===== Ryszard Stroynowski =====
+<code>
+For the 1303 TAs - I request 2 graders and 1 good
+communicator for help sessions.
+each weak graders will have to grade about 240 problems
+and once a month about 600 problems. (~120 students). from
+padt experience when i check it it rakes me about 5 min per
+problem, in afew cases few more. That gives 1220 min or
+about 20 hours each week and twice as many once a month.
+in addition there always are makup tests for participants
+in university sponored sports and other activities.

+===== Ana Firan =====
+<code>
+I am teaching 2 sessions of PHYS1304 this semester.
+In the past few years we had "synchronized" homework
+for PHYS1304 and PHYS1308 in order to have common help
+session four times a week( you can take a look at the hw
+assignment on wileyPlus; it is listed under the name joint).
+Please let me know if you still want to do so.
+</code>
+<code>
+It is a little hard to estimate since I do not know how many
+students are enrolled in each session( I cannot see the semester
+listed on myschedule yet). If a assume that there are 50 students
+in each session and since I have weekly quizzes and monthly exams
+I would estimate an average of at least 10 hours per week.
