AY 375 Fall 2013: Fifteenth Day Plan

Today you'll be giving your Design-A-Section presentations.

1. Coherent lectures are hard to give.
2. Designing sections that have relevant activities that tie into the lecture material takes time. Be sure to keep your teaching logs and notes for when you have to design sections and lectures in the future!

1. Earlier in the semester, we had you write a one-page teaching philosophy. We are now asking you to rewrite it, so that it reflects your teaching philosophy now. Consult the Day 6 lesson plan for some pointers. Your new philosophy should be 1-2 pages. Try to have it include some of the following:
   • What is your role as the instructor? What is the students' role in the classroom?
   • What sort of pedagogical tools do you employ and why? Can you SHOW us these tools through an example activity rather than just listing?
   • Are there aspects about your philosophy you think are unique?
   • How do you assess whether your strategies and activities are working?
   • How has your teaching style, philosophy, etc. evolved?

There are several online sources to look at for examples. Some good links are here.
