T.A. Experience, Psychology Department, Bloomsburg University T.A. Experience in the Psychology Department Because so many of our students go on the graduate school we have designed a program through which students can get valuable T.A. experience. Many graduate students fund their graduate work through employment as a T.A.s. At Bloomsburg our Psychology Department T.A.s work with the faculty who teach General Psychology. Our T.A.s receive 3 credit hours through the course, 48.341 Theory and Practice of Academic Psychology . Students must fill out an application and then be selected to take this course.
Applications are due in the semester prior to enrollment in the course.
While in this course T.A.s meet with the General Psychology faculty each week to discuss topics, lesson plans, activities, and examinations. Under the supervision of the General Psychology faculty each T.A. facilitates a small group discussion during which General Psychology students discuss the current lecture material. See 48.341 Theory and Practice of Academic Psychology for more information.
