An Intensive Training Program for Effective Teaching Assistants in Chemistry
Dragisich, Vera; Keller, Valerie; Zhao, Meishan
Journal of Chemical Education, v93 n7 p1204-1210 Jul 2016
We report an intensive graduate teaching assistant (GTA) training program developed at The University of Chicago. The program has been assessed and has been successful in preparing GTAs for effective discussion and laboratory teaching for both general and organic chemistry. We believe that this training program can provide insightful information to benefit other similar GTA training programs in the future.
