Pedagogy Seminar

Catalog description

This half-credit course is designed to support MFA Playwriting students preparing to begin teaching the following year, as well as TAPS PhD students as they prepare to teach, begin to teach, or continue teaching. The intent is to offer a space for students to reflect on teaching, bring concerns, and offer each other feedback on pedagogical issues; to introduce resources (from Brown and not) that can help with teaching, both methodologically and practically; and to workshop concrete teaching tasks, such as building and executing lesson plans, grading, and designing syllabi. Students in the course will also observe classes taught by three other instructors during the semester.
