In this course, we will explore some of the biggest challenges involved in teaching college courses and students--and develop ways to solve them. Through a combination of readings, discussions, case studies, and observations of other teachers, we will identify and evaluate different approaches to designing engaging courses, stimulating student interest and motivation, and giving and receiving feedback to improve student learning and our own practice. We will also apply these approaches to create materials we can use in our own courses, including informal exercises, lesson plans, assessments, and syllabi. All grad students interested in teaching, including current or future TAs and instructors, are welcome.
