If you haven’t yet attended at TA Orientation at the Center for Teaching Development and you have a new TA assignment, you should attend this orientation. This 2-hr session will cover the highlights of being a TA at UCSD, from an introduction to how people learn to the roles and responsibilities of TAs to best practices for getting students engaged in science and humanities discussion sections.

This workshop is lead by Spencer Bagley and Sarah Esper. Both are experienced UCSD graduate students, familiar with modern theories of teaching and learning and able to give lots of practical advice “from the trenches.”

Hi,
I am a Teaching Assistant for the first time this Winter Quarter 2013.
Due to my very busy schedule of classes on Thursday, I will be unable to attend the orientation. Is there any other date when this would be held again?
Priyal, I’m sorry but we don’t have any other dates scheduled for this quarter. I’ll try to get the workshop materials posted here after the workshop, though.
Peter
I am actually experiencing the same time conflict with a class lecture. Is it acceptable to review the materials online instead of attending the orientation?
