Building Rapport with Students (CTE1203)

Thursday, November 7, 2019 9:30 am - 11:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)
Location: MC 2036
Facilitator: Matt McLeod (CTE)

Workshop description

As teaching assistants, we aim to establish positive relationships with our undergraduate students, but we rarely get the chance to hear honestly from our students about how to best do so. This panel and workshop features current undergraduate students who provide their perspectives on how to build rapport between students and TAs. Together, we'll discuss techniques and brainstorm simple but effective strategies to help you establish positive working relationships with your undergraduates.

Cancellations
