Location: In-person (MC 2036)
Note: This session is geared toward tutorial TAs in science, engineering and math.
Workshop description
Many TAs in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) disciplines are responsible for teaching tutorial sessions. However, running tutorials can pose unique challenges for TAs. In this interactive workshop, we will discuss how to create an effective tutorial environment and present ways of maximizing student participation. In this session, you will plan a tutorial incorporating active learning and receive feedback on your plan. By the end of the session, you will be equipped with practical strategies for planning, running, and assessing your tutorials, with special attention to active learning strategies.
This workshop is offered on campus to allow you to practice in-person teaching skills or to model best practices for in-person teaching.
Workshop delivery
This session will take place on the Waterloo campus in room MC-2036.
