This course gives an introduction to teaching at Rutgers, particularly in the context of being a Teaching Assistant. We will discuss the specifics of how Teaching Assistant assignments work, what responsibilities are associated with this position, and the different kinds of assignments that are available. In addition, we will discuss various aspects of pedagogy, particularly that of Active Learning, which is very prevalent in workshop courses. Participants will be recorded giving brief teaching demos to see their teaching presence and get feedback on how they can improve.
