CHE 4976 - Effective College Teaching in Chemistry II



Credits: 0.5

Prerequisite(s): CHE 4971

Corequisite(s): CHE 0020

Description: This course is the second of a two-semester sequence that introduces teaching assistants (TAs) to core theoretical frameworks of learning and the scientific evidence that can inform their teaching. In collaboration with instructional faculty - both a course instructor and their faculty mentor for courses to which they are assigned - students, across two semesters, gain a foundation in learning theory and develop a set of skills and tools that are widely valued to them as professionals in any career in which they train, supervise, or teach others. 

The second part of this course further builds on ideas from CHE 4971 - Effective College Teaching in Chemistry I ; strategies for effective teaching, introduction to aspects of evidence-based course design) and places emphasis on inclusive teaching practices, and developing a roadmap for future development.

Class time is used to discuss case studies, video examples of enacted teaching practices in lecture, lab, and online scenarios, peer-review implementation plans and teaching demonstrations, and prepare a teaching portfolio.

Note: Students must be participating in the American Chemical Society Post-Baccalaureate Bridge Program (ACS-BP)  to enroll in this course.
