Other
Resources & Information
for Teaching Fellows
A useful compact collection of teaching tips specifically for
physics, as well as a set of example section notes, can be
found in our online
Physics TF guide. Below
are further resources and information that you can draw on:
- Physics TF FAQ:
provides answers
to some of the questions
you might have about teaching in the physics department.
Suggestion for additional questions-and-answers are very
welcome, so please contact us ().
- The
Bok Center for Teaching and Learning:
The website has information about all the services and resources
offered by the Center, as well a series of tip-sheets for
various kinds of teaching situations. The Center can also help
you put together a teaching portfolio for job applications.
In the physical world, the Bok Center is located on the third
floor of the Science Center.
- A
selection of online section evaluation forms for early
evaluation is available on the Bok Center homepage.
Early evaluation is an excellent way to improve your teaching
skills quickly. It is a good idea to go over the results of
the evaluation with someone who can give you objective feedback.
The teaching consultants will be happy to help (see the people page).
- Instructional
Technology Fellows Program:
FAS Tech consultants who can help you use and integrate web
resources into your course - for both professors and TFs. You
can also mail them directly at http://icg.harvard.edu/pitf/.

Teaching Fellows Handbook (PDF):
This is the offical GSAS Handbook. It has extensive (albeit less-physics
specific) information about all aspects of teaching, who to contacts if a
student is struggling etc. etc. It also includes the offical Code of Conduct
for all TFs.
