Afterwards, you will meet that GSI outside of class to discuss general impressions and ideas for extensions/improvement, and fill out a worksheet. We will discuss the results in class. | - Early in the semester, you will attend a section taught by one of your peers in AY 375.

After everyone has done this we'll take time in class to compare and contrast the teaching styles of the professors. | - At some point during the semester you will either be required to attend (1) a lecture of a professor that you are **not** teaching for, or (2) a discussion section of an experienced GSI. After everyone has done this we'll take time in class to compare and contrast the teaching styles observed. |

| Closer to the end of the semester we will start covering topics that extend beyond discussion sections. One of those will be general course and section development, and you will get a chance to develop a ~15 minute lecture on a topic covered in the course you are teaching for. This should include you at the board and the implementation of a group activity, demo, or active learning strategy. We will provide more details about this project later in the semester. | The GSI Teaching and Resource Center offers a variety of workshops and talks throughout the year on teaching. Many of these can be used towards the completion of a higher education teaching certificate. One of your assignments is to attend one of the Fall workshops and write a little bit on your experience and what you learned from the talk. The full list of talks is here: http://gsi.berkeley.edu/programs-services/workshops-seminars-institutes/fall-workshops/ |
