Astro 101 - The Graduate Instructor and Undergraduate Preceptor

Education, Sunday, May 30, 2004, 2:30-5:30pm, Denver Ballroom III, Marriott Hotel

In this session we will present the experiences at several institutions in Graduate Instructors training and experiences in Astronomy 101. We will also present the somewhat novel use of undergraduate preceptors in these courses. We anticipate a panel discussion of some of the issues involving students as teachers, and will hear from undergraduate students who have participated in these classes as teachers. Interested participants are urged to contact an organizer. Organized by D. Richstone (dor@astro.lsa.umich.edu), T. Rector (aftar@uaa.alaska.edu), L. Lebofsky (lebofsky@lpl.arizona.edu) and R. McCray (dick@jila.colorado.edu).
