Seminar on the Teaching of Economics

Catalog description

Graduate Teaching Assistants are vitally important to the educational experience of UCSB undergraduates and graduates. As a Teaching Assistant, your role is potentially multifold: designing and teaching your own sections, assisting a professor by leading quiz sections, grading, or working directly with students in a capacity that is less formal and beneficial to students. This discussion based course covers the tools needed: planning, FERPA, testing, learning styles, evaluations, academic dishonesty, sexual harassment, presenting and evaluating of instruction.
