About us

First Year Interdisciplinary Seminar on Critical Thinking and Writing (FYIS)

The First Year Interdisciplinary Seminar on Critical Thinking and Writing (FYIS) is a core component of the undergraduate curriculum at Ahmedabad University and is undertaken by all first-year students across majors. The Seminar is designed to support students’ transition into university-level learning by strengthening their critical reading, writing, and thinking skills through interdisciplinary inquiry.

Each Seminar engages students with carefully selected texts, ideas, and problems drawn from diverse disciplines. Learning takes place through close reading, structured discussions, writing workshops, peer review, and reflective assignments. The emphasis is on developing students’ ability to read analytically, write clearly and persuasively, and engage thoughtfully with arguments.

For each First Year Seminar, we seek Teaching Assistants who are deeply invested in teaching and learning, enjoy working closely with student writing, and are attentive to how students develop ideas across drafts. We are particularly interested in applicants who appreciate interdisciplinary learning and are motivated to guide students through the intellectual and ethical demands of academic writing, including the responsible use of generative AI tools.

• Observe student engagement and learning processes, identify conceptual or skill-based gaps in reading, writing, or critical thinking, and support students through targeted feedback and discussion
• Support inclusive, respectful, and academically rigorous classroom environments
• Track student progress and communicate observations to faculty, following up where additional academic or writing support is required
• Maintain attendance, submission, and participation records
• Remain attentive to the use of generative AI in student work, support students in understanding ethical and appropriate use, and flag concerns to faculty where necessary
• Contribute to other academic and pedagogic tasks as assigned by faculty coordinators

Key Skills

• Strong proficiency in spoken and written English
• Interest in classroom facilitation, writing instruction, and undergraduate learning
