Teaching Biology: Theory and Practice

Catalog description

Teaching is a major responsibility for many academics, yet pedagogy is often not a standard part of graduate training. In this seminar, participants work collaboratively to understand the fundamental features of designing and teaching college-level science courses. Through readings, observations, discussions, and hands-on activities, students explore the fundamentals of teaching and learning. By the end of the semester, students will have developed and implemented a teaching module, drafted a teaching philosophy and DEI statement, and explored the landscape of teaching-related career opportunities.
