One type of demand has been for the increased
to rebuild community after. Specifically, we have focused significanteffort on (1) implementing new professional development opportunities for GTAs in the targetedcourses and (2) holding reflection/re-planning activities for CCTs.Pre-Semester GTA WorkshopIn August 2022, we implemented a two-day pre-semester workshop for new GTAs in theparticipating departments. Introduction of this workshop was motivated by the significant roleGTAs play in implementing teaching change in the large courses targeted by the project (e.g.,leading recitations and labs) and the need for GTAs to have structured professional developmentbefore the semester begins. In the early years of the project, GTAs met semi-regularly withintheir departments during the semester

To establish aconducive and dynamic classroom environment by discovering course content throughexploration, students majoring in CS were introduced to several logic gate types, worked withbreadboards to connect circuits, and carried out operations to produce the necessary output usingthe commercial ADALM 1K Active Learning Module.
