College Teaching and Academic Careers
College and university professors
traditionally have been better prepared in the practice of research than
in the practice of teaching. This course is designed to help prepare
future members of the professoriate for their teaching duties. The course will be both
theoretical and applied, with many opportunities for dialogue and
feedback. Participants will acquire an advanced skill level and understanding
in the philosophy and practice of teaching and learning in
the college and university setting.
