Frequently Asked Questions


Picture
​​Who is on the Psych One teaching team?
For the 2025-2026 academic year, the teaching team consists of:
​
  • Jamil Zaki (Fall Instructor)
  • Laura Gwilliams (Winter Instructor) 
  • Ali Crum (Spring Instructor)
  • Course Coordinator: Jennifer Randall Crosby
  • Administrative Assistant: Allison Argueta
  • A team of graduate and undergraduate Teaching Fellows

What are my responsibilities?
  • Teach 2 sections per week. In the Fall, one section is co-taught in undergrad/grad pairs and one section is taught solo. In the second quarter (Winter or Spring), 2 sections are taught solo. 
  • Attend every our weekly team meeting, Fridays 12:00 - 1:00PM
  • Attend every lecture, M/W/F 10:30 - 11:50AM
  • Attend your own 2 office hours
  • Maintain section attendance and participation grades as well as student correspondence and outreach
  • Grade writing assignments designed to assess important course learning goals
What kind of training would I receive?
  • A day-long orientation will be held on the Friday before the start of fall quarter
  • Weekly meetings will provide ongoing training
  • Online resources, including sample lesson plans, activities, video clips, discussion questions, and articles on teaching
  • Section visits by Jennifer at least once per quarter to provide support and feedback
TFs receive a lot of support, but also have a lot of flexibility to tailor lesson plans to their interests and students' needs.
​

What is co-teaching all about?
Team-teaching allows TFs to learn from one another's strengths. Graduate and undergraduate TFs are a tremendous resource to one another. Graduate TFs usually have more experiences in Psychology, while undergraduate TFs have actually been through Psych One at Stanford. 

Do I get academic credit for teaching? 
Undergraduate TFs register for Psych 182 to receive course credit for participation in the Psych One Program. Graduate TFs can register for Psych 282.


Do I need to be a Psychology major? 
No! We've frequently had folks with other major as undergraduate TFs. While Psychology PhD students have priority for spots as graduate TFs, there are sometimes opportunities for non-Psychology PhD students as well.
