Congratulations on receiving your first college teaching assignment. The transition you are about to make from student to instructor will be exciting, challenging, and scary. If you are like most graduate students and new professors, it’s likely you have received little instruction on how to teach a college class, which is why this course was designed – to help get you started and establish good habits for your teaching career.
This course was designed by Wichita State University for our new GTA’s, instructors, and professors; however, it is suitable for new instructors at any institution.
Please allow 30 – 45 minutes to complete this course and quiz.
