Undergraduate Course Assistant Autonomy in Course Development and Teaching

Abstract

Course design and oversight is difficult, and we've seen a move toward including undergraduates on course staff over the past several years. In this panel, we argue that giving additional autonomy to the undergraduates involved in our courses is both empowering to them and beneficial to the course itself (as their perspective having actually taken the course can help us understand inequities and/or confusing pieces of the curriculum).
