Basic Overview
Employment of students: Students Assistants are employed by the CNT to assist in routine and menial tasks. Student also work on web or programming projects as directed by the CNT. Student support needs (and student employment) are evaluated on a quarter by quarter basis.
Expectations of students: Each school quarter (or whenever the students schedule changes) the student will post their working schedule on this section of the web site (see below). Students are expected to notify the CNT prior to any deviations from the schedule (sick days, doctors appointments, midterms, finals). In general, there is never a problem with missing some number of days, as long as the CNT is notified ahead of time.
General goals (or mission) of the Computer Support Assistant position: Your overriding goal is to make the CNTs job easier. Secondary to that will be streamlining and documenting the job you have done to make it easier for future students in this position.
General Schedule of operations for students by quarter: The following is a rough outline of what you can expect over the course of a quarter.
