College Teaching 186

Introduction to College Teaching, offered in the spring, Designing Your Own Course, offered in the fall, and Introduction to Online and Hybrid Teaching, also offered in the spring, are designed to help prepare doctoral students for their roles as future faculty members. These courses will enhance graduate students' understanding of the contemporary college and university classroom and higher education in the United States. The scholarship of teaching and learning, including pedagogical skills, will be a major focus of the three courses. Some readings will be required, along with attendance and participation. These 0-credit courses will appear on the student's transcript, but incur no additional fees. These courses are not graded. Each will meet over the first 12 weeks of the semester, for two hours per class.
