The seminars are interactive and regularly draw on the experience of participants from a variety of disciplines. Microteaching is offered several times per year. TAs can arrange for a graduate student Teaching Fellow to visit one or more of their classes and offer detailed, individualized, and confidential feedback to help improve the class. He or she will meet with the TA before and after the observation and provide formal written feedback useful for documenting teaching skills in the future.
Early evaluations are an easy way to collect information from students to improve teaching.
Eberly Center staff are available to help instructors and TAs design, interpret, and respond to early evaluations. Consultations are confidential. Video taping and Review TAs can contact the Eberly Center to arrange to have a class videotaped. Peer Teaching Fellows can review the tape with the TA or the TA can review it on his or her own. The purpose of this program is to prepare graduate students to be effective and efficient as new professors.
