How much teaching experience a student should seek is, of course, partly determined by the kind of professional position the student intends to seek. Students intending to seek academic positions or other positions that might involve teaching activities are encouraged to seek more than the minimum of teaching experience, both by serving more than once as a Teaching Assistant and, during their third or fourth year, by assuming full responsibility for an undergraduate course (PSY 304, Introduction to Child Psychology) as an Assistant Instructor. Regardless of goals, most students should serve as a Teaching Assistant in a developmental psychology course. Students serving as Assistant Instructors are required by the University to take the preparation for teaching course, PSY 398T (Teaching in Psychology).
