This course is designed to assist graduate students in history to
improve their teaching skills and prepare themselves for a career in
college teaching.  The first half of the class will examine US
higher education from a historical and sociological perspective,
look at classroom settings and also the changing demographics of
both student cohorts and the historical profession.  Next, we focus
on those aspects of teaching faced by an A.I. (leading discussions,
alternatives to discussion, grading, the cognitive and emotional
development of college students, interactions with both professors
and undergraduates).  Special attention will also be given to CATS,
or Classroom Assessment Techniques.  Students will write week
responses (1.5-2 pages, single-space) to the common readings.

The second half will deal with course preparation, lecturing, and
exam construction.  Each student will prepare a syllabus for a
course in his or her field.
