Nazar, H	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/26-05/06/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Proseminar in Literature Section Info: SP26 ENGL 593 - Professional Seminar in College Teaching of Literature - Hina Nazar - This course prepares graduate students to be effective teachers in the undergraduate classroom by helping them develop syllabi, sample assignments, grading procedures, and other pedagogical tools in a series of hands-on workshops. Readings on pedagogical styles and challenges will supplement the primary work of developing a teaching portfolio, including a statement of teaching philosophy, that is expected to be helpful both internally (whilst teaching at UIUC) and on the job market. Ample attention will be given to the particular challenges of teaching at this particular historical juncture, when humanities’ enrollments are declining, students are becoming overly reliant on tools like ChatGPT, and the utility of higher education is questioned in oftentimes heated public discourse.
