I thought a TA appointment was 20 hours per week?

It actually may have been, don't mean to exaggerate. It's been awhile, can't recall and Googling isn't pulling up anything.

That being said, with the nature of being a graduate student and being on campus always, if it was "20 hours" a week it was really 30+. I do have a separate university related job now and the hours are anything but consistent. But you may be correct.

Why would you think something as specific as that would be standardised?
