Teaching Requirements
Overview
Training our students to be college or university professors with a high regard for excellence in teaching as well as research is a primary goal of Integrative Biology's program.
Most students teach more than two semesters since it is the most available means of support offered by the department.
Appointments
Teaching appointments are 50% five month appointments, and are assigned semester by semester. Occasionally a 25% appointment is offered or can be arranged.
If a student is on a fellowship he/she is generally allowed to teach 50% in one term or 25% in each term. Please check with your funding source to confirm this.
There is no restriction on teaching for departments other than IB.
Requirements
- Enroll in IB 303, the Teaching Colloquium
- Participate in the Teaching & Orientation Conference
- Complete the online ethics course, either prior to or concurrently with the first course you teach
