Courses on College Teaching
EOL 585:College Teaching and Academic CareersCollege and university professors have traditionally been better prepared in the practice of research than in the practice of teaching. This course is designed to help prepare future faculty members for their teaching duties. The course is both theoretical and applied, with course readings from the research literature on college teaching and learning. Many opportunities are provided in and out of class for reflection, dialogue, and feedback. This course is typically offered in the Spring semester.
Other courses about college teaching within specific fields and disciplines are offered on campus. This list may not be exhaustive, but indicates the types of courses available. Some courses are limited to graduate students in the department and others are by permission of the instructor. Other college teaching courses may be offered under the rubrics for special studies, special topics, pro-seminars, and the like. Most of the courses are not offered each semester. Check the University course catalog and/or the department for details, relevant prerequisites, and requirements.
