Welcome back to Davis! We at the TAC Program hope you all had lovely holidays.
The TACs have been busily working on the Winter Workshop Series, from which you can earn a certificate if you attend 5 of 6 workshops. We're really excited about it. It's all about teaching your own course. To start off the series, we're going to cover the first thing most teachers hand out on the first day, a syllabus!
Check back here for more updates and reviews of workshops.

How to Make a Syllabus

Time: 10:00am - Noon
Place: 2342 Storer Hall

Description:
Are you a first-time instructor or TA? Are you an experienced TA that would like to re-think how you teach a class? Whether you are a TA, an Associate Instructor, or anticipating your first teaching job, a syllabus serves as a framework for your class. In this workshop we will outline the elements of a syllabus and discuss its purpose. You will leave with an outline of a personal syllabus. If you are entering the job market, a fully developed syllabus is an excellent indication of your teaching abilities. Our discussion will provide a foundation for the topics covered later in this six-part series, including how to assess critical thinking, how to link the humanities and STEM, how to grade effectively and efficiently, and classroom management.

I cannot make the series at all this quarter, as I'm actually TAing right when they're held! I'm looking forward to any information, though, so I'm going to be checking the blog often. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat! The first workshop just finished and they should have their blog post up shortly! Thanks for checking in :)
