Question Reader position questions - ME001

I got a reader position for ME001 and signed the contract but have not heard much since besides hours and pay. I know I might just have to wait for some time, since the first lecture is on Tuesday, but I am worried I missed something.

Is there supposed to be any kind of training that needs to happen before starting the job?

You should have been hired by someone like the instructor or department chair? Send them an email and ask what's up.

I was a reader for another course under the SOE and there wasn't any formal training or anything that I received. Mainly just did what the professor assigned to me

Was it done in your own time or did you have set hours every week?

Yeah it was a mix of my own time and sometimes in the lecture time

did you have to go to any location to do it? or could I technically stay at home and work?
