AY 375 Fall 2013: Sixteenth Day Plan

The final class of Ay375 will feature professors talking about their teaching philosophies and a discussion of the Teaching Portfolio.

1. Keep a teaching portfolio. They are becoming increasingly important for faculty applications, and they serve as a good repository of your best teaching practices.
2. Always keep thinking about teaching, despite what the research mongrels at places like UC Berkeley might tell you. Teaching can have a positive impact on your research, because teaching requires you to consider new material from alternative points of view, which in turn leads to new insights.

Teachers visiting:

• Leo Blitz, long-time instructor of Ay10 and graduate courses.
• Eliot Quataert, first-time instructor of a non-majors course, frequent instructor of graduate courses, Ay7ab, and Ay160 (stars).
• Mariska Kriek, new faculty member and first-time instructor of Ay7a.
• Geoff Marcy, long-time instructor of Ay12, currently teaching Ay12 and Ay160.

1. None! We're done!
