I've responded to Talk:Perth, Western Australia by adding a paragraph to Perth, Western Australia about Perth's water woes. - User:Mark 01:26, 4 May 2005 (UTC) == Teaching Assistant == Hello. From my experience, the term VL fully matches the description of a TA in this article. At my institution, VLs are not fully qualified. Many are employed at the beginning of their Masters programme, and are not required to hold any teaching experience or qualification. Indeed, I was actually ''dissauded'' from obtaining my PGCE by a senior lecturer. Gaining full time employment in higher education is very difficult, meaning that there are many fully qualified VL's (I would say that the possession of a PhD would 'fully qualify' someone, tho' this is my guess/opinion). The term, I guess, is preferable to TA as it professionalises the teacher. The label 'assistant' could be problematic when it comes to internal politics, including student discussions ("why are we always taught by an ''assistant'' and not a proper ''lecturer''?"). When I was an undergrad, I thought that VL referred to an expert in that field who is there on a temporary basis. On another political note, VLs make useful scapegoats when things go wrong. They are very much expendable, and there is always a bun fight at the beginning of term to get teaching hours. It easy for institutions to change a VL and officially report that they have had a staff change as a result of feedback, rather than address any problems with full timers. Hope this helps. I'm unsure about the three other terms that are red linked under 'see also', but their details should be merged into this article, I think?
