Do you know any doctoral students who are at the beginning of their
teaching careers? If so, please pass along this announcement.
The Management Education and Development Division of the Academy of

Participants will hear from master educators, discuss a variety of
teaching issues and meet other doctoral students interested in teaching.
Discussion topics include:

Developing learning objectives and grading criteria
Using writing assignments and service projects to teach
Managing difficult students in the classroom
Teaching large lecture sections
Designing a course syllabus
Preparing for class efficiently and effectively
Using information technology in the classroom
Giving feedback on exams and assignments
