jujubea Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I just was offered admission to the University of Maryland's PhD program in communication with a full Assistantship. Pinch me, I'm dreaming. Waiting for all the others is much easier now knowing I'm going somewhere no matter what. Congratulations! Ah! Must feel sooooo good!

autumn Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 I got an official letter in the mail from one of my schools today... it was a confirmation they received my application. I appreciate the school being communicative but really not the time to be sending out letterhead for funsies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse if it begins "Dear X, we are delighted to accept your application..." Congrats on your interview by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumn Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 How's everyone doing? The thread has died down a little this week. Do any of you have teaching experience? If so, what have you taught? If not, what would you like to teach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I taught public speaking, argumentation & debate, and "business and professional communication" as part of my TA gig during my master's. Public speaking is usually pretty boring to teach, imo, but can be fun. It's very reassuring to see that nobody else has gotten decisions back!

kingsxrocks Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I've TA'd for intro film classes (world cinema, documentary, film analysis [online TA]) and have created and taught three film electives -- two of which were online courses, one was taught during the semester in a traditional classroom setting. Safe to say I have a decent amount of experience -- learning how to construct a syllabus is pretty invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumn Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Nice! I'd love to TA for a film class someday. I had some great film classes during my undergrad. I TA'd for a Race, Gender, Class, and Media course and I've taught sections of technical writing (online and traditional). I've also been invited to guest lecture a few times (Class on TV, Infographics, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grad_wannabe Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I TAed three times, once for an art class and twice for business classes. Edited January 13, 2015 by grad_wannabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-hermes- Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I don't have official TA experience, but I worked with my PI to set up an online course, which included constructing the syllabus and writing/designing instructional course materials and content. Not sure how much that counts. I've conducted trainings in professional settings, but that's only a line on my CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumn Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 That's interesting. What was the subject of the online course you helped set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
