This seminar in pedagogical theory and method is required for all second-year students who will be TAing and running discussion sections for one of the large 100-level lecture courses. Each TA group will meet with its respective faculty member weekly to discussed assigned readings. These will be light, usually a couple articles either on the course readings or on some aspect of pedagogy per week. The majority of the seminar will be devoted to planning the Friday recitation sections, discussing the course texts, and confronting pedagogical issues as they arise over the course of the semester.
