Instructor: Jim Overhiser, PhysTEC Teacher In Residence
As a companion to the Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) program, the Cornell Physics Department offers the seminar course Physics 4484/7684, “Teaching and Learning Physics”. This course is required for all new UTAs, but is also open to any physics undergraduate or graduate student with an interest in learning more about the practices of teaching physics. The course meets once a week for 1.5 hours, and counts as 1.0 non-academic credit hour.
The Cornell seminar and UTA program are based on the highly successful Learning Assistant Program developed and implemented by Dr. Valerie Otero at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
