Instructional guidance and peer evaluation offer insight and confidence to the prospective teacher. A final presentation during the final exam period for peer evaluation offers insight and confidence to the prospective teacher. A final presentation during the final exam period for the instructor will complete the project. Guest speakers and faculty observations included.
