Dr. Lori Breslow
Tue Jan 25, 03:30-05:00pm, 4-145
No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Prereq: none
SHASS is pleased to sponsor an opportunity for recitation instructors to come together with Dr. Lori Breslow, Director of the Teaching and Learning Laboratory at MIT, to talk about how to plan and lead recitations specifically in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. Participants will determine the flow of the conversation. Topics could include: managing a discussion, encouraging participation, asking and answering questions, negotiating work as a TA with other responsibilities, navigating the relationship between the lecture and the recitation and between the lecturer and the recitation instructor, and handling the challenges both inside and outside of the classroom (including where to go at MIT for additional help for students).
