Instructors

For each TIP class, there are two staff members: a main instructor, who heads the class and is considered the true 'teacher, and the TA, or Teacher's Assistant, who handles evening class sessions and is generally closer to the student body. The instructor's name is listed in TIP mail and booklets, and unlike the college-aged TAs and RCs, the instructor is an older adult, often a college-level professor in the class's field. However, no qualifications beyond interest and a knowledge of the subject are required to become an instructor.

Notably cool instructors include Dave, infamous instuctor of Abnormal Psychology at East '06, Ali, teacher of Rethinking American Society at TIP '05, Rolin, the Screenwriting instructor, Mike Tye, Psychology instructor, and Patrick (aka Dr. Pat), the "hipster" Apocalypse Soon instructor.
