In their preparation, what to teach is often emphasized over how to teach. This paper provides a few simple teaching strategies for TAs in the biological sciences, but the ideas are applicable to physical science educators as well. http://www.compadre.org/GradTA/items/detail.cfm?ID=8347 http://tfsc.uark.edu/167.php http://www.compadre.org/GradTA/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=8347 Mon, 14 Jun 2010 00:00:00 EST This resource is a comprehensive guide to the effective use of "clickers."
