• Why should the staff of my laboratory spend time with undergraduates who may not even be majoring in the sciences or engineering?
• Won’t participating in these workshops slow down the primary work of my laboratory?

• What do SERTS workshops add to my course?
• How do I begin to incorporate workshops into my class?
• Do I have to modify my lectures or conform to a particular pedagogical style?
• How do I let students know I am offering a SERTS class?
• How do I go about finding workshop leaders for my class?
• How do I select good workshop leaders?
• How are the workshop leaders trained?
• Will my colleagues be upset when a bunch of students shows up unannounced in their laboratory?
• How are workshops scheduled?

One of the best ways is to send out an email message to your department or program list server. SERTS staff can provide you with basic information for the message. It helps to have an informational meeting to which prospective workshop leaders are invited, again SERTS staff will work closely with you to prepare for the meeting and to provide information about SERTS; you need to provide information about your specific course. You can refer students to the SERTS website.
