Job Responsibilities
I grade an assignment for an undergraduate statistics class at
the University of Illinois for about 40 students every week.
This generally takes me about 7 hours total time. I am also in
the office about 3 hours per week, during which students from
that class can come in for help.

Job Requirements
I had to complete a B.S. degree in statistics, and concurrently
enroll in the M.S. in statistics program. Most students think
the classes required are difficult, but I think they are fairly
easy.
|
Uppers
I can work flexible hours on grading assignments.
I get my tuition waved as well as receiving paychecks of $8/month.
|
Downers
I find it difficult at times to be consistent with grading, or
to decide whether or not an answer is close enough to receive
full or partial credit.
|
Lifestyle
This job does not require any dress code or business travel. My office hours
are from 1-2:20 pm on Tuesday and Thursday, and I generally work on grading the
assignments Friday and Saturday afternoon.
|
Compensation
I get one paycheck each month of just over $800. The school
also waves my entire tuition fee for the work I do. Other than
that, there are no real specific benefits.
