Frequently Asked Questions


Picture
​​Who is on the Psych One teaching team?
For the 2020-2021 academic year, the teaching team consists of:
  • 3 instructors:
  • James Gross (Fall, Winter, Summer)
  • Steven Roberts (Fall, Winter, Summer)
  • Jamil Zaki (Fall, Winter, Summer)
  • Psych One Coordinator: Jennifer Randall Crosby
  • Administrative Assistant: Ariel Grayson
  • A team of graduate and undergraduate Teaching Fellows

What are my responsibilities?
  • Teach 2 sections per week in the Fall (one co-taught section with undergrad/grad pairs, one taught solo), and 1 section per week in the Winter or Spring.
  • Attend every weekly meeting, Fridays 12:00PM - 1:00PM
  • Attend every lecture, M/W/F 10:30AM - 11:50AM in Fall and Spring; M/W/F 1:30PM - 2:50PM in Winter
  • Attend your own 2 office hours
  • Exam proctoring: Help will be requested (4 volunteers per exam, TBD). If you are not signed up and reminded, you do not need to attend exams.
  • Section grading: You will be responsible for grading the three Writing Assignments for the students in your solo section (10-12) and half the students in your co-taught section (5-6). You will also assign participation grades. You will need to keep accurate records of all of your grades.
  • Exam grading: We will grade short answers/essays as a group following each exam. All TFs are expected to help grade all 3 exams unless you have a class or final exam during that time. Exam grading sessions are typically on Fridays after exams.
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 have a lot of flexibility to tailor lesson plans to their strengths 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? 
Both graduate and undergraduate TFs can register for two classes (Psych 281 and 282) each quarter that they teach.
