Presentation - Georgia: the Land, The People, and the University
Adult learning is designed to give you the opportunity to examine your understanding of the learners with whom you interact. This analysis is designed to help you identify your beliefs about adult learners and develop questions to continually test your understanding of adult learners and learning.
ALDR 7770E is a graduate-level seminar specifically designed for students in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) who are preparing for instructional roles. As an approved departmental equivalent to the university-wide GRSC 7770, this course serves as the primary pedagogical training ground for Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs). The curriculum focuses on equipping students with essential teaching strategies, such as effective lesson planning, classroom management, and diverse assessment techniques tailored to the agricultural sciences. Beyond basic pedagogy, the course familiarizes students with University of Georgia policies, available support resources, and the unique challenges of teaching in a technical or lab-based environment.
Trace the sequence of historical people, events, movements, policy, and legislative initiatives as they shaped the development of agricultural education in the United States. State and describe agricultural education’s nature, purpose, and scope in modern school systems. Describe the relationship of agricultural education to the total educational system. Articulate how philosophy influenced the development of agricultural education as a part of the comprehensive educational system. Describe the significant philosophers and leaders in the development of agricultural education.
We designed this course to enhance the professional writing skills of graduate students pursuing careers in agricultural sciences. You will learn to communicate your research effectively to scientific and non-scientific audiences through theoretical instruction and practical exercises. Topics covered include research papers, grant proposals, technical reports, and science communication for policy and the public.
GRSC 7001, Grad First, is a required course for all incoming graduate students at the University of Georgia. Its primary purpose is to help students make a strong transition into graduate study and understand the expectations, culture, and responsibilities that come with advanced academic work.
In my section, we certainly cover orientation to graduate school—policies, milestones, professional conduct, and available resources—but we also go a step further. I place particular emphasis on helping students get off on the right foot with their academic writing and research. That includes foundational guidance on scholarly writing, research design basics, expectations for graduate-level rigor, and habits that support long-term success in thesis or dissertation work.
The goal is not to overwhelm students, but to position them early for confidence, clarity, and steady progress.
