What's a PG?
I figured a TA is a teaching assistant.

**kemist** · 11-29-2007, 12:30 PM

PG is short for postgraduate, some1 doing a masters or PhD. In the science depts , a few PG's are employed as TA's. The majority are employed as 'demostrators' (who make sure the kids dont blow up the labs

)

**Solachica** · 11-29-2007, 12:55 PM

I hear the Demonstrators make ok money. Whts rate? Per hour? Or monthly? A 5 hour lab in 2 lab streams a week go be how much a week ? :

On a sad note a young feller Avinash Hosein was killed in a hit n run accident on Tuesday night. He was a 2nd year Business student. He was walking to his apt on Alice St.

He went to Naps with my bro

Part time demons salaries ranges from $65 to $78 an hour, but they can work no more than 60 hours per semester. Full time demons now get $3k a month for 90 hrs per semester. (For the past 3 years it was $2700). Only full time demons get their tuition fees waived. So after rent we only left with enough just to survive on. Scholarship people have it nice tho, they can also demonstrate part time. When i was on schol. the stipend was $3300 a month. Coupled with part time demostrating, a total of about $4800 monthly. From next year i hear the stipend going to double.
Demonstrating contacts are only 1 year, even tho they are renewed as long as you are a PG, we still cannot buy items on hire purchase, take loans etc. And admin does take they godfather time to renew contracts every new academic year. Some of we doh get pay until end of october.

So come next september, if yuh see any of yuh demonstrators in ah sour mood, yuh know why.

**kemist** · 11-29-2007, 01:41 PM

ok i doh know this for a fact but this is what i HEARD.
the guy who was driving is from penal and also rents not too far from campus. he was drunk, and is known to drive drunk frequently.

dunno if theres any truth in that because yuh know how rumors does spread in this place (i'm doing it right now

)

Oh Ok. Allyuh young folks :mrgreen: I graduated A's 1987, and my bro 1988.

You know, for a huge University like Houston I never did see stuff like that going on. There were a lot of hand-holders, and smootchers, but no X-rated stuff. Maybe I just didn't know where the make-out spot was. LOL. Interesting.

the new semester classes starts Jan 14th.
I suggest you go the week before (or this week) because you will have a lot of 'running around' to do on campus.
Go to admin first, explain your situation, find out about fees, get all necessary registration forms and payment slips etc. They can direct you on the procedure. Also check your dept about courses.
You should consider taking advantage of this week since there aren't many students around. If you get in by 9am it is possible to sort it out by midday.
If you put it off till the last minute, you will encounter the long lines and may have to spend an entire day behind this.

dhal · 01-01-2008, 08:29 PM

^^thank you!

thats what i thought too...im planning on going in tomorrow (Jan 2nd) and hopefully getting it all done ASAP
