As part of the University's commitment to excellence in teaching, CDTL also conducts a formal training programme for teaching assistants (TAs).

This training course has been specially designed to help TAs perform more effectively in their role as teaching assistants. The programme aims to review sound educational principles and practices and their application to teaching in an institution of higher learning. More specifically, it focuses on those activities that TAs are most likely to be involved in, such as taking tutorials and labs, assessing and giving feedback on student performance, leveraging on IT as a teaching/learning tool. Workshops on enhancing presentation skills and effective interaction skills with students are also included.

The training package is conducted over 2 days and comprises various plenaries and complementary workshops where the TAs are divided into smaller groups to facilitate learning via interactive discussions.

The teaching assistants will be awarded certificates upon full completion of the course. Comments or queries on the above-mentioned programme can be directed to:
