A Sample Schedule

To reiterate, successful discussions work best when faculty and a Head TA work together to train graduate students in good pedagogy, and help them develop good habits of balancing teaching and research that will serve them well as academics in the future. Our training changes slightly from year to year, but here is an example of the Fall 2010 schedule to show how much we cover in a 10-week quarter. The two days of Week 0 training are 2 hours each, but all the remaining training is done in weekly 50-minute meetings.
