Teaching Seminar for New Teaching Assistants

Lingchong You

Description from DukeHub

This 3 credit seminar is for BME PhD students concurrently serving as a TA for the first time. It is mandatory for those entering the program in Fall 2015 and optional for all BME PhD students who entered the program before Fall 2015. Throughout this course, students will attend a series of seminars (5 minimum) designed to improve pedagogical training and support for teaching assistants. Students will practice concepts learned in the seminars during TAship. Teaching assistants will receive feedback through performance evaluations by the professor. Evaluations will be given twice per semester. The teaching assistants also complete an activity log to document time spent.
