This course will involve weekly laboratory instruction for general chemistry (AUSCI 125 and AUCHE 213) labs. Students enrolled in the course will be responsible for supervision of students during the labs as well as mentoring of junior students who will be assisting in the lab. Students will be expected to attend weekly technical meetings on lab logistics, safety and procedures. In addition, students will attend weekly seminars on teaching practice, communication and student mentorship experience. An important component of this course will be reflective assignments about the teaching experience. Prerequisites: 3rd or 4th year standing. Consent of the instructors based on successful completion of the selection process.
Starting: 2025-09-01 AUSCI 425 - Senior Mentorship Experience
This course will involve a weekly learning placement, faculty-led seminar, and technical meeting lecture. The learning placement will be an on-campus experience facilitating learning for junior students, such as serving in a tutoring center or overseeing laboratory experiments. The seminar is a weekly meeting studying how people learn, communication, and the mentorship experience. The technical meeting provides details unique to the learning placement with a staff member. An important component of this course will be reflective assignments about the teaching experience. Prerequisites: 3rd or 4th year standing. Consent of the instructors based on successful completion of the selection process.
