ANNOUNCEMENTS
MTH 599 — 2012/2013

11/14/12

There is no class meeting next week.

I am willing to use this time to discuss particular teaching issues; please let me know if you would be interested.

10/4/12

As you visit other classes, things to keep in mind are:

• In what way is the classroom you visited similar to, or different from, your own?
• Did you observe an interaction or pedagogical strategy that worked particularly well?

Please make sure to confirm with the instructor that it is OK for you to visit. If you do not plan to stay for the entire class, you should also clear this with the instructor beforehand.

10/3/12

In response to the question that arose in class today, OSU has explicit rules about dogs and other animals on campus. The short version is that no animals are allowed in any campus building unless they are "guide or companion dogs accompanying disabled persons". Further details are available here.

OSU provides students with registered disabilities with appropriate accomodations. But I believe all arrangements must be handled through Disability Access Services, which would almost certainly result in advance notice being provided to the instructor, which in this case means the TA.

9/25/12

The Center for Teaching and Learning offers several workshops each term related to teaching practice.

Participation in one of these workshops will likely count as a "teaching activity" for the purposes of this seminar, but you should discuss this with me beforehand.

9/24/12

The announced text will likely not be used until Winter Term, and in any case copies to borrow should be available from the department; you do not need to purchase your own copy unless you want to.
