NELC Doctoral Colloquium: Research, Resources and Pedagogy
NEC 299B

Course Information

Description

This course consists of a series of workshops in which NELC doctoral students in their G3-year will develop a strong foundation of skills to prepare them for their first teaching at Harvard and to enhance the effectiveness of their teaching in the long term. Each session will inculcate best practices for major Teaching Fellow roles and introduce key topics in pedagogy, such as teaching languages (ancient and modern), communicating with students, and grading and providing feedback on student work. In addition, a few sessions throughout the semester will be devoted to workshopping the dissertation prospectuses of NELC PhD students prior to their presentations to the faculty; these sessions afford a chance to share feedback and to learn about the research of other NELC doctoral students.
