This course is required for the Graduate Certificate in College Instruction.

Students in this seminar examine and discuss various issues of curriculum and teaching practice related to university level courses. Through a systematic process of problem-posing, reflection, and group feedback, students formulate practical solutions to problems occurring during curriculum development, instruction, materials use, teacher-student interactions, course management, and program administration.

This is a self-directed course providing graduate students interested in college teaching with the opportunity to design their own teaching portfolios and investigate and critique the syllabi and curriculum of other college teachers in order to reflect on their own pedagogical practices.

The implementation and application of theory in college instruction. This 1-credit course is required for the Graduate Certificate in College Instruction for students who do not have any practical teaching experience in higher education. The practicum involves observation, mentoring, participation in classroom teaching, and planning/teaching in a higher education setting. Students and their coach will develop contracts that identify individualized learning outcomes of the practicum and assessment.

For use of M.D./Ph.D. students at UConn Health to provide them with a credit benefit for their dual degree program. M.D./Ph.D. students enrolling in GRAD 6932 may hold a graduate assistantship and take additional graduate courses, which will allow us to continue integration of the graduate and medical school curricula in the first four semesters of the program. This 15-credit benefit is an approved for UConn dual degree programs and is an important aspect of the M.D./Ph.D. program as it integrates the two degrees programs, which is considered to be a best practice nationally. Grad 6932 will give M.D./Ph.D. students the same 15-credit benefit as DMD/Ph.D. students, reflecting what is already is in place in the graduate school for individuals that enter Ph.D. program with a Master's degree in a closely related field.

Associated with the research efforts of students pursuing a doctoral degree, and may be used to meet the fifteen-credit doctoral research requirement.

To be used by those students who have completed all courses on the plan of study and who are performing doctoral level research on a full-time basis.
