Syracuse University was one of the first major universities to develop a summer internship program to train its more than 325 new teaching assistants appointed each year. An outgrowth of that program, this book is invaluable to teaching assistants eager to improve their teaching skills. Contents include Practical Tips for Teaching at the University Level; The Discussion/Recitation Section; The Studio; The Laboratory; Using Writing as an Active Learning Tool; Using Videotape to Enhance Instruction; Gender, Race, and Ethnicity in the Classroom; Working with Students with Special Needs; and Balancing Roles as Teacher, Student, and Person.
