Teaching Practicum

Graduate Teaching Practicum.
This two-hour weekly seminar will develop
pedagogical skills and classroom strategies for
teaching assistants who are engaged in leading
discussion sections. The course will cover a
range of pragmatic issues related to teaching,
including strategies for how to design individual
class sessions, suggestions for hand-outs and
course materials, examples of assignments,
responses to student writing, and grading. The
class content aims to provide TAs with skills
that are applicable no matter what course they
are assigned to, as well as a tangible set of
materials they can adapt in the context of their
own classrooms.
