Tutoring
Tutoring is a great opportunity for students to gain experience in communication, preparation, responsibility, and administration.
All of these are skills that look good on any resumé, and will help you in your future career, whether that be in industry or academia.
The School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering gives high priority to professional development in teaching for all academic staff, including tutors.
We continually upgrade our programs, computing and laboratory infrastructure and our teaching and learning techniques. Our programs are accredited by Engineers Australia and the Australian Computer Society.

CAHP Resources for Claiming for Non-Scheduled Activities
A few years ago the University of Queensland implemented significant process improvements in the hiring and payment of casual academic staff across the institution. This change means that Casual Academic staff will be paid according to a pre-determined schedule of activities, with timesheets only required when there is a deviation from the schedule.
