Are you interested in TFing but don't know where to start? Have you TF'd before but want to really develop your skills?

The SEAS Teaching Practicum is called 'Computer Science 365' — but it's not about Computer Science. It's about teaching science and engineering. We discuss some pedagogy — and even some cognitive science — but mostly we dig in to develop teaching, lesson planning, grading and class management skills each week in a constructive, task-focused setting.

While developed for graduate students in SEAS, CS365 is open to all GSAS students in natural sciences and may be audited by SEAS-affiliated postdocs and undergraduates. It also counts towards the Bok Center's Teaching Certificate for GSAS students. Join us this spring!
