Teaching Experience Workshop

These workshops provide the prospective instructor valuable insights into the development of a University 101 syllabus, the fundamental areas of instruction for the course, the various campus resources designed for student success, and the unique opportunity to hear from other University 101 instructors as they share their experiences and recommendations for teaching within the program.

As a result of participating in this workshop, we expect that instructors will:

• Gain a better understanding of the goals, purpose, & philosophy of Univ 101
• Understand the needs and attitudes of first-year students
• Experience and learn appropriate pedagogical styles and techniques relevant to a seminar class
• Develop an understanding of and strategies to teach the major components of Univ 101
• Become acquainted with the resources available to them as instructors
• Begin to develop their course plan and syllabus
• Build community as a cohort of instructors
