What can you do as a Teaching Fellow?
Richelle Marynowski
Faculty of Education
Teaching Fellow
January 2017 - December 2018
As a Teaching Fellow, I am looking forward to supporting Faculty and Graduate Students in continuing to refine their assessment and grading practices. I believe that having Teaching Fellows supports colleagues in working together to make our practice, and thus the learning experiences of students, better.
Randy Barley
Department of Biological Sciences
Teaching Fellow
July 2017 - June 2019
It seems that in 2017, students view smartphones as being almost as essential to their lives as oxygen and with continuous notifications, interjecting themselves into the minds of students, it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to focus on the task of learning. The goal of my fellowship is to examine the detrimental impacts that smartphones are having on student learning both in the classroom and beyond and to explore strategies to help students cope in this increasingly information-dense world.
Keith Roscoe
Faculty of Education
Teaching Fellow
July 2010 - June 2011
Keith constructed a teaching handbook for graduate students who took on a teaching assistant role during their master's degree.
Helena Danyk
Department of Biological Sciences
Teaching Fellow
July 2010 - June 2011
Helena focused her time as a Teaching Fellow working with our staff to help revitalize the Graduate workshops for teaching assistants. To this day we are still running these workshops which remain very popular with graduate students.
