CTL: Teaching Outside Your Area of Expertise

February 12, 2019 by Rebecca Lopez

Dr. Heath Schmidt, Associated Professor of Nursing and Psychiatry, and Katerina Placek, CTL Graduate Fellow

At some point in your academic career in the biomedical sciences, you are likely to be asked to teach a topic outside of your particular specialization. This may include serving as a teaching assistant on an upper-level course that covers material far removed from your graduate dissertation work, or leading an introductory survey course spanning a wide variety of topics. In this workshop, Dr. Heath Schmidt will draw on his teaching experiences as a graduate student, postdoc, and faculty member to help workshop attendees meet this challenge, with an emphasis on skills you can develop and use in your teaching.

Counts toward the CTL Teaching Certificate.
Contact Katerina Placek for more information.

When: February 21 2019, 11:00 am to 12:30 pm
Where: BRB 1201
Please RSVP here to attend!
