Teaching Fellows

Catalog description

The Teaching Fellow program will utilize outstanding upper level students to work with first year students in a small group setting under the training and supervision of faculty in the Academic Resource Center, to provide an experiential component as part of Professional Identity, Practices and Skills I. Fellows will take the academic skills topics covered in PIPS (including case reading and briefing, note taking in class, outlining, exam preparation, exam writing, time management, etc.) and design application exercises to apply within their assigned 1L small group, allowing the 1Ls to develop their academic skills in the context of a particular substantive course. The goal of the Teaching Fellow program is to make our 1L students more self-directed and self-sufficient, so that they are independently successful as 2L and 3L students.
