Teaching Business

0.5 credits · Graduate

This course will cover the important skills and resources necessary to be an effective graduate student instructor (GSI) in the Haas School of Business. GSIs are an integral part of instruction at Haas, supporting faculty teaching through administrative and pedagogical support. This course seeks to prepare MBA students for their first GSI positions, ensuring that they are ready for the many potential challenges that might await them in the ensuing semester. Students will learn effective teaching strategies from faculty and veteran GSIs, as well as resources available to them both through Haas and the Berkeley campus. This course will also teach MBA students the common pitfalls of any class--both in pedagogical style and in student interaction.
