SUMMARY:Teaching in the Age of AI: Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI is already part of students’ everyday lives. This workshop\, which emphasizes student-led teaching skills\, helps graduate instructors build AI literacy for themselves to better understand how students can engage with this quickly changing technology. Participants will explore how instructors can meaningfully use AI\, while weighing the pitfalls and benefits. We will explore whether AI is a tool that can deepen learning rather than a shortcut that bypasses it.

SUMMARY:Communicating Expectations: Teaching Students How to Succeed in Your Class
DESCRIPTION:Clearly communicating course expectations is essential for student success\, as students often struggle to understand whether they are meeting course expectations throughout the semester. This interactive workshop explores how instructors can use the syllabus\, learning goals\, scaffolded self-assessments\, and a variety of course communication tools to establish and reinforce expectations from the first day of class onward. Participants will leave with practical strategies for designing a transparent communication plan that helps their students understand expectations\, monitor their progress\, and succeed in their courses.

SUMMARY:Intentional Design for Active Learning in Large Engineering Classes
DESCRIPTION:In large engineering courses\, it is tempting to pack every lecture with as much material as possible. But coverage is not the same as learning. In this workshop\, we discuss an alternative: covering fewer concepts more deeply\, using demonstrations to make key physical principles visible and memorable\, and structuring class time so that students engage rather than passively absorb. We will discuss the practical challenges of active learning at scale and identify strategies that graduate instructors can adapt for their own teaching. \nAll graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Mechanical Engineering & Applied Mechanics department\, and so may be most useful to students in related fields. \nCounts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.

SUMMARY:Building Community in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:In some classes\, students become a community of people who trust the instructor enough to admit when they’re lost. In others\, everyone remains a stranger\, including the instructor. This interactive workshop examines the small design choices that can help create the first kind of classroom: how to open the semester\, structure discussion and group work\, respond to silence and mistakes\, and be approachable while maintaining clear expectations. Participants will explore several of these strategies and leave with a small set of adaptable practices to use in their own teaching.

SUMMARY:Beyond Memorization: Teaching and Assessing for Understanding
DESCRIPTION:How can we teach students complex material while assessing whether they truly understand it rather than simply memorizing it? In this workshop\, Dr. Mikey Nusbaum will share his approach to graduate-level teaching\, using board-based lectures to develop and explain course material while emphasizing the connections and concepts students need to understand. We will then interactively explore how open-note\, problem-solving assessments can ask students to apply that knowledge and demonstrate their understanding. Participants will consider how lecture and assessment design can work together to prioritize conceptual understanding and reasoning\, and will leave with strategies for developing assessments that challenge students to think beyond memorization. \nAll graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the Neuroscience department\, and so may be most useful to students in related fields. \nCounts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.

SUMMARY:Teaching Students with Varying Experiences and Educations
DESCRIPTION:2026 Evan C Thompson Chair Lecture on Excellence in Teaching \nUniversity teaching increasingly involves working with students with a range of different backgrounds and who have many different types of preparation for college and graduate school. The diversity of academic and work experiences students bring to classes may present a challenge for teaching today. But finding ways to reach all of our students can make our classrooms more lively and engaging for everyone. \nIn her talk\, Jie Deng will consider how to create classes that allow students to connect and learn no matter their preparation. Speaking from her own experiences\, Dr. Deng will argue that taking student interests and backgrounds into account in teaching will encourage students to expand their horizons both personally and professionally. By sharing strategies for bringing students’ individual interests and past experiences into the classroom\, she will show us ways of widening the range of possibility for all students. \nReception to follow.

SUMMARY:Grading\, Feedback\, and Time Efficiency as Teaching Methods
DESCRIPTION:Grades are an inherent part of a student’s life. What often gets overlooked\, though\, is that grading offers instructors the opportunity to evaluate a student’s progress and to adjust their own teaching as the course progresses. In this interactive workshop\, instructors will discuss approaches to grading and providing meaningful feedback for various types of assignments\, whether they are problem sets or creative writing submissions. We will also explore strategies for time management as instructors balance their teaching and academic workloads. Instructors will leave this workshop with strategies for giving feedback that students will find effective and TAs will find efficient.
