🔍 First-Year Students: Winter Quarter Planning

Welcome to your first quarterly academic progress check-in!

Each quarter, all graduate students must complete the *Academic Progress
Survey*. If you are assigned a Teaching Assistant (TA) position for the
upcoming quarter, you will also submit your TA course preferences through
the same form.

*Winter TA Assignments*

Four first-year students will be serving as TAs this Winter. To confirm
whether you are scheduled for a Winter TA appointment:

   -

   Review your *original admission offer letter* for your scheduled
   Winter/Spring funding.
   -

   *Not sure?* Simply reply to this email, and I will be happy to look up
   your assignment.

📚 Plan Your Winter Course Schedule

Please review your Degree Audit and plan which graduate courses you will
take in the Winter Quarter. You can refer to your Degree Audit for a list
of outstanding degree requirements or contact me for assistance.

*Second-Quarter Course Recommendations:*

   -

   *POSC 202B*
   -

   *POSC 230*
   -

   *Two courses* in your major field

*If you are serving as a Winter TA:* Select *one course* from your major
field instead of two, as I will enroll you in *POSC 302 (Teaching
Practicum)*.
