Notes

Typically Physics TAs work ~40 hours per term including marking. If less than 30 hours are expected a * indicates a smaller work load. In some cases, strong TAs may be offered two smaller jobs, for example, Float marking and Setup assistant.
Marking must be done in a timely manner and in particular undergraduate TAs must complete marking before the exam period.
Marking Only and Help Centre jobs are more independent so a higher a GPA and experience is normally required.
