-
- Announcing a new Listserv list for college and university teaching
- assistants around the world. This list is for those students who
- help or assist the professor or lecturer in their classroom duties.
-
- University teaching assistants have a variety of responsibilities.
- The purpose of this discussion group is to give teaching assistants
- the opportunity to discuss the roles of being a teacher and a
- student. Some questions to stimulate our conversation include:
-
- What kinds of teaching techniques do you use?
- How can you motivate students and stimulate discussion?
- How can you promote a supportive classroom climate?
- How can you set expectations for students that are high enough to
- challenge but not to overwhelm?
- How can you review for tests, write examinations and assignments and
- grade?
- How can you balance being a teacher and student?
-
- These and many more issues can be discussed in this teaching
- assistant discussion group. Your ideas are encouraged.
-
- To subscribe to the list, send e-mail to:
-
