Graduate Teaching Award for Course Support
Eligibility
Every Rice graduate student who assisted an Instructor of Record in the Fall of 2022, Spring of 2023, or the Summer of 2023 is eligible for the 2024 Graduate Teaching Award for Course Support. This award was designed to recognize graduate students who distinguish themselves in the course support they provide to an Instructor of Record. Because we are already recognizing graduate students with a student support award, the focus of this award is on substantive contributions to course design and delivery. Examples of course support include, but are not limited to, contributions to the design of the syllabus, individual assignments, on-line tutorials, or the delivery of various in-class lessons and activities.
