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.

Teaching Assistants play a central role in supporting students’ learning experiences within the FYIS. Working closely with faculty members, TAs contribute to both the intellectual and pedagogic dimensions of the course, with a particular focus on reading, writing, and providing feedback.

This includes helping students interpret complex texts, develop arguments, revise written work, and reflect on feedback.
This position is particularly suited for individuals who view teaching, writing, and mentorship as iterative and collaborative learning processes, and who are interested in undergraduate pedagogy within interdisciplinary academic settings.
