Session 1532 A Graduate Student’s Views of a Mentored Teaching Program Eskild T. Arntzen, Dr. Robert F. Kubichek, Dr. Donald S. Warder University of WyomingI. IntroductionThere are many reasons why colleges and universities use graduate students to instruct theirclasses. In the current economic situation, many schools are faced with budgetary shortfalls anddeclining research funding. In order to avoid cutting back programs or eliminating programs, itis tempting to use graduate assistants to teach classes when regular faculty are not available.Unless done properly, this could result in ineffective
