Consultations
CRLT consultants are available to work with GSIs who are designing new courses or revising existing ones. These confidential consultations are particularly useful for GSIs preparing to take on responsibility for an entire course. Such collaborations are ideal for brainstorming pedagogical approaches to the subject matter, attending to the coherence of the course design, and planning strategies to assess and evaluate student learning.
