EE GSI Issues EE Town Hall October 14th, 2013

Grad Student Concerns Late GSI appointments GSI supplement Working in excess of appointment hours Quality of the 300-level pedagogy course

Appointment Hours A GSI with a 20-hour appointment should spend roughly 20 hours per week on their GSI duties Many EE GSIs reported working more than their appointment hours

Appointment Hours “For past GSI appointments, how much time did you spend on your GSI duties relative to your appointment hours?” 2 out of 3 of GSIs report working more than their hours! Somewhat Less About the Same Somewhat More Much More

EE301/375 Classes Most GSIs have no formal training as teachers Good teaching is hard! Good teaching can be taught......but EE3** classes are not doing that right now.

EE301/375 Classes “On a scale of 1 to 5, how much did you learn from EE301?” “On a scale of 1 to 5, how much did EE301 help you as a GSI?” Mean: 2.2 Mean: 2.1

Questions and Discussion GSIs working excess hours Improving the 300-level pedagogy course
