Job Details
The primary responsibility of lab monitors is to provide after-hours assistance to students in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Spatial Visualization, and other technically demanding geography classes. Lab monitors are responsible for being familiar with techniques currently taught in Geographic Information Systems (GEOG 0120) and should be able to familiarize themselves with techniques used in other aspects of the Geography Department’s technical curriculum if the need arises. Lab monitors must have a good conceptual understanding of GIS and be effective teachers. They should be prepared to be supportive of students who may be struggling with difficult assignments.
As a secondary responsibility, lab monitors work with Geography Department faculty members on projects that employ GIS or other technical skills. It is the responsibly of lab monitors to communicate with their faculty sponsors to receive assignments and track their progress. Time during a shift that is not spent assisting students should be spent working on faculty projects.
Education and Training
A good candidate must have been a strong student in GEOG/ES 0120 (Middlebury’s GIS course) and is excited by the course material. Preference will be given to candidates who have also shown strength in courses that use analysis and design software.
Consider whether you have the requisite experience: Would you be comfortable teaching GIS concepts to others? Have you taken other classes that make use of ArcGIS, QGIS, Excel, the Adobe Creative Suite, or other software used in the Geography Department? Can you troubleshoot and adapt to changing software?
