The Costanzo Teaching Fellows
The Costanzo Teaching Fellows are a group of carefully selected juniors and seniors who lead discussion sections for our course. They receive substantial training in teaching as part of the teaching team for Introductory Psychology (PSY 101). Teaching Fellows are paid and are also required to enroll in a 1-credit Psychology Teaching Seminar (PSY 601S, that counts toward the Psychology major) during the Fall term.
