Teaching Supervision
The following guidelines govern Classics faculty supervision of graduate students serving as sole instructors:
1. A faculty member assumes responsibility for supervising whichever graduate students serve as sole instructor in a specific course for a three-year period.
2. When a graduate student is assigned to that course he/she is informed of the faculty member who will serve as his/her supervisor, while the faculty supervisor is informed of the student/students who will be teaching the course for which he/she is responsible during the coming semester.
3. The faculty supervisor and graduate student instructor meet well before the beginning of the semester to review what will be involved in teaching the course.
4. The graduate student instructor provides the faculty supervisor with a draft copy of the proposed syllabus for his/her review and comment not less than one week before the beginning of the semester.
5. The faculty supervisor makes himself/herself available to the graduate student instructor for consultation throughout the semester.
6. The faculty supervisor and graduate student instructor arrange for a mid-semester course evaluation and review together the results of this evaluation.
7. The faculty supervisor audits at least one class meeting of the course as agreed with the graduate student instructor.
8. After the conclusion of the semester the faculty supervisor and the graduate student instructor hold a meeting at which they review the latter’s performance in the course.
