SCIENTIFIC TEACHING FOR TAS

INTEGSCI 650

Fundamental principles for teaching college-level science courses, with an emphasis on research-based and inclusive approaches. Learn core themes of scientific teaching (active learning, assessment, and diversity) and connect them to practical strategies for designing and implementing courses in their discipline in the future. Develop competence and confidence as college science teachers.

INTEGSCI 850

Continues the development of graduate student's skills in teaching and learning college science courses by providing a mentored, independent teaching experience. Participants will have the opportunity to see how theories of learning and teaching play out in real instructional settings by implementing instructional activities and then evaluating the outcomes of those activities on the basis of student artifacts. A particular emphasis will be placed on participants creating an inclusive learning environment for teaching diverse student populations. The course also provides participants with frameworks for teaching and managing their own courses, should they pursue academic positions after graduate school. This course is required for Scientific Teaching Fellows Program participants.

INTEGSCI 750

Designed to provide a practical application of pedagogical knowledge through the development of instructional materials for use in a university science education context. The process will be based around cohorts of participants working together to identify learning objectives, and create evidence-based assessments and learning experiences to target those objectives. This course is required for Scientific Teaching Fellows Program participants.

INTEGSCI 699

Provides academic credit for advanced research, library, and/or laboratory work under direct guidance of a faculty member. Students are responsible for arranging the work and credits with the supervising faculty member.

INTEGSCI 660

Practicum course for graduate, post-doctoral or senior undergraduate students to be taken concurrently while mentoring an undergraduate engaged in an independent research experience.
