Hi Freind,

I claimed 1 year work experience on TA/RA (2 Semester full time RA and 4 semesters TA).  I did 2 RA with 2 different prof in two summers. I counted that as a fulltime other TA job as part time. I claimed all of them as 1 year.  As a rule, 2 year part time can be 1 year full time (40hr/week).  I had 2 year experience in US as EE. It only increases my point by 1. It did not make that much difference in my case. I applied before they changed rules. I do not know much about new rule though.

Hopefully this will help
