The teaching skills examine strategies for introducing yourself, your syllabus, explaining a visual, defining terms, giving presentations and giving successful lectures. Analysis of presentations is given to each student throughout the semester. Cultural awareness is centered on some assumptions affecting teaching in the American classroom.
