Teaching Requirements for Woodruff School
Doctoral Students
All Woodruff School Ph.D. students shall be required to complete three semester
hours of HP 7757, Teaching Practicum, during the course of their Ph.D. programs.
Students enrolled in HP 7757 will work in close association with a Woodruff
School Faculty member in all aspects of teaching a course, including preparation
and delivery of a limited number of lectures (usually in the presence of the
course Professor) and tutorials, and setting and evaluation of homework, laboratories
and examinations. The faculty member of record will maintain full responsibility
for the course. Students enrolled in HP 7757 will attend regular meetings to
discuss aspects of teaching appropriate to the field of mechanical and nuclear
engineering and health physics. Students may not register for HP 7757
during the quarter in which they expect to receive their degrees.
Implementation
The preferences of Ph.D. students and their Faculty advisors will be of highest
priority in making teaching assignments for students enrolled in HP 7757, in
order to maximize the educational benefit to the doctoral students as well as
the benefits provided to the students and Faculty who will be served by them.
Exemptions
Students assigned as laboratory instructors in ME 3056, ME 4053, and ME 4055
will be exempted from the HP 7757 requirement.
HP 7757 fulfills the teaching practicum requirement but cannot be used to satisfy the course work requirement for the HP doctoral programs.
