- Class Description:
- This course is aimed at graduate students preparing to become teachers at the college level. We begin by working to understand the social/political context of teaching, including topics such as ethics, multiculturalism, and academic freedom. Students also learn practical teaching skills to be used when lecturing or leading discussions. Active learning strategies are emphasized as effective tools for engaging a wide variety of adult learners. A major part of the course is the independent development of a course syllabus and related lesson plans and exercises.
- Grading:
- To earn an "A" in this course, you must have no more than one unexcused absence; actively partipate during our class sessions, including co-facilitating the discussion twice; turn in all assignments fully complete and on-time; provide thoughtful reviewer comments on your partner's work on time and every time; and your work must show effort and growth. Poor performance on any of these will cause your grade to be lower. You are at risk of failing this course if you have three unexcused absences or do not turn in a major assignment. I will not give an Incomplete except when required by university policy.
- Exam Format:
- There are no exams in this class.
- Class Format:
- This course is based on in-class discussion of readings, collaborative preparation of materials such as a teaching statement and syllabus, engagement with guest speakers from around the university, and building a capstone group project to share what we have learned.
