Institution:

Subject:

Description:

This course aims to enhance the professional development of graduate students by preparing them to teach biological sciences in academic venues that range from community colleges to Research I universities. Graduate student participants will be introduced to issues related to teaching in both lab and lecture settings and will apply effective teaching techniques in their own classrooms. Program participants will learn about pedagogy, gain practical teaching experience, and receive mentoring and formal evaluation of their teaching. The course requirements are designed to be flexible enough to be pursued alongside full-time disciplinary studies, yet ensure that participants are rigorously trained in biology-specific pedagogy. Drs. McLaughlin, McVey, and Gaudette. 1 graded credit. Prerequisites Prerequisite: consent/BIO13L Teaching Assistants This course is offered during the following semesters: Fall Semester
