so a new person should assume 5 "manot". and then again - i'm not sure if this is the case in all faculties. it also changes from time to time, as far as i know (i.e. during the previous high-tech recession - 2003 or 2004 or so) - i've heard of a person in a different faculty, who got less then 5 "manot" in the beginning. i wonder what was the case in CS at that time. > in addition, the ability to become a teaching assistant is not > clear in > advance - and this can have a noticeable effect too. > > > In the Technion in CS, it is hard NOT to be a TA, if you are an > internal student. unless you registered very late - in which case sometimes all TA positions could have been full for the first semester. when people are making financial preparations - they should plan for the worst case and make sure they'll be able to get by. --guy > > On Tue, 2011-08-02 at 21:55 +0300, Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda > wrote: > > > > http://grad.technion.ac.il/heb/ ; Go to Melagot - Clali. > > This is getting a bit OT, IMHO, and a bit RTFM. > > > > > > Orna > > > > On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 2:53 PM, Shahar Dag > <d...@cs.technion.ac.il> > > wrote: > > Hi > > > > If you are an internal student and a teaching > assistant, then > > (at list at the Technion) you can get a scholarship > + some low > > salary.
