Teaching Fellows Seminar

Course #: ENGL 698, Class #: 1080, Section #: 01

Description

This seminar is for both composition and literature teaching fellows during their first teaching semester. It involves a preliminary summer workshop and weekly meetings and classroom visits during the semester. The course is team-taught by the two faculty supervisors, with students divided into a composition and a literature section according to their teaching fellowship appointment. The seminar develops more fully the pedagogical and content material covered in ENGL 610 and 611. It involves collaborative work (particularly in designing a joint syllabus, reading list, and assignments for the undergraduate composition and literature sections to be taught by teaching fellows), classroom research, and reflective reports.
