CTE: International Teaching Assistant Workshop: American Academic Culture
Center for Teaching Excellence, Thomas Cooper Library, Room 511Mar 1, 2012 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM
Are
USC undergraduate student attitudes, priorities and behaviors different than
what you are accustomed to? International Teaching Assistants must learn
to interpret and handle our students' actions appropriately, but seldom have
the opportunity for this learning outside of the classroom. This workshop is
designed to provide graduate students with the chance to discuss some of the
difficulties they might have encountered in American academic culture. This is
not a lecture: each workshop participant will identify peculiar aspects of
American academic life that he or she has encountered, discuss similarities and
differences in ideas and beliefs with other participants, and develop a deeper
understanding of the role culture plays in academic behavior. Discussions
will be facilitated by a panel of experienced and successful teaching
assistants and faculty members. Join us for a session of active learning!
