While graduate students do not need to become experts in how students learn, a basic understanding of the research on learning can enable GSIs to make informed teaching decisions. Drawing on research findings from neuroscience, anthropology, and cognitive and social psychology, this workshop will enable GSIs to consider ways to apply research-based principles to the learning environments they create for their students.

Responsible and ethical research practices are at the core of Berkeley’s mission and paramount to our research accomplishments. This seminar series was developed to gather scholars for discussions that elevate all aspects of ethical research. In our first talk, we are pleased to welcome Cary Moskovitz, Director of the NSF-funded Text Recycling Research Project– featured in Science.  Anyone who publishes research, including faculty, staff, post-docs, graduate students, and undergraduates, will benefit from this important discussion on the ethical and legal implications of “text-recycling” (also referred to as “self-plagiarism”). Best practices and tools for your publication needs will be presented and discussed. Wednesday, March 15, 2023, 1-2 pm 101 Barker Hall Please join us! RSVP is recommended but not required.
