In this seminar we will examine the question of "What is reasonable?" in the context of a professor's expectations for teaching assistants in the Department of Mathematics at UCI.  

We will break up into small groups; each group will be asked to determine the reasonableness of a particular expectation taken from an exemplary list and then present to the entire class a summary of its findings.

Furthermore, we will open the discussion to any particular expectations that graduate students have encountered that they found unreasonable, and the various ways for handling such situations.

Are most people reasonable? Be prepared to explore this question and candidly share your experiences.
