Working as a TA

Someone has shared a group with you. This page gets you working in about five minutes.

What you have​

The group appears on your dashboard alongside any of your own. Open it and you can do the day-to-day teaching work:

You share the group's grading policy with the owner — you both see the same values and the same late cutoff, and either of you can change them.

What you cannot do​

  • Delete anything — students, sessions or assessments
  • Manage exams — setting one up, writing questions, publishing, or reviewing attempts
  • Rename, archive or delete the group
  • Add or remove team members

Seeing those refused — Only owners can remove students, Only owners can manage exams — is the permission model working, not a bug. Ask the owner.

You also will not see billing anywhere for this group, because it belongs to the owner's account.

If you get something wrong​

You cannot destroy anything, but you can mistype. Every mark you enter or change and every attendance override you make is written to the group's activity log under your name. If you put a grade in the wrong row, fix it and tell the owner; the log shows both.

Your usage costs the owner, not you​

Sessions you run count against the owner's monthly quota, and students you import count against their student limit. Your own account and plan are untouched.

If you hit a limit while working in their group, it is their plan that has run out. Tell them; you cannot fix it from your side.

Your own account​

You have an ordinary Quorum account. You can create your own groups, on your own plan, entirely separately from any group shared with you.

If you were invited only to help, you never have to use that side of it.
