This would only work if you are done your practicum and can enroll for 10 credits in Spring Quarter, but if that fits you, then you may apply for this TA’ship for spring. Please note that the class meets (and you would need to be available) on T and Th from 12-1:50 and the quiz sections are on Wednesdays between 10:30-2:20. The Psych dept said that MSW students were fine and they have hired fee-based program students before.
Good luck!
