Teaching Requirement

Learning to communicate effectively in a teaching capacity is also critical to your future career as a scientist. To facilitate this aspect of your development, you will be required to assist with teaching biochemistry courses for a minimum of 2 semesters. This responsibility may be fulfilled in some cases by providing teaching assistance in a lab course, or in others by assisting course instructors with grading and fielding student questions. Teaching assignments are coordinated by Dr. Madhavan.

International students must attend and pass a three-week intensive training session (ITA training) in the summer after their first year to prepare for their teaching assignments.
