There's a lot to know during the first week of classes--maybe TOO much. As a student you have to worry about classes; as a TA you have to worry about work; and as a human being you have to worry about everything else!
Don't worry if you don't know what's going on--you may find it comforting to know that nobody knows what's going on when they first start (at least I didn't).
I put this list of resources together last year as a way to help orient Arts graduate TAs, and to help identify some places to start. I hope it helps. There's also the more complete and more authoritative TA/GA Info Page on the website of Ryerson's Learning and Teaching Office. If you have a question you cannot find an answer for in either of these two locations, or if you need more general, specific, or personal help, or for any other reason, don't hesitate to email, call, or carrier-pigeon me.
Good luck, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
