Teaching Situations

This section addresses different contexts for teaching:  the first day of class, large classes, motivating your students, teaching labs & studio classes, teaching first year students, teaching controversial topics, and working with TAs.  It also contains a link to an award-winning interactive resource, "Solve A Teaching Problem."
