<h1>Guidelines </h1>
<!--<p>Applications to teach a STIC in Fall 2024 are now closed. If you are still interested in teaching a course, contact us at <a href="mailto:stics@umd.edu">stics@umd.edu</a> and we'll see what we can do!</p>-->
<br>
<p>Applications to teach a STIC in Spring 2025 are now open! If you are interested in teaching a course, please fill out our application form <a href="https://forms.gle/riwJ9QU2pexMPmuR8">here</a>.</p>
<h2>Who can teach?</h2>
<br>
<p>
Any UMD student (both undergraduate and graduate) can apply to teach.
<br><br>
Teaching a STIC is hard work, and we want you to make sure you’re up for the task. Once you become a STICs facilitator, you will be added the STICs Slack and can communicate with other facilitators for tips and questions!
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<h2>When should I apply?</h2>
<br>
<p>Applications to teach a STIC open early the semester before and typically close in mid- to late- October or February. We update our website with the current application form above.</p>
<p><strong>Important Note:</strong> We now require all new & relist applications to include a copy of the <a
target="_blank"
href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/16aH374sD0tF8e0YEW6IOdo46rGCUbvAA/view?usp=sharing">Student-Faculty
Agreement</a> signed by the faculty advisor and facilitators.</p>
<p> Submitting a draft syllabus to <a href="mailto:stics@umd.edu">stics@umd.edu</a> is recommended. Check
out our <a target="_blank"
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P7njaPci1mp3mk9TBXHTTJNOXD5iOWC3h1_495PMIJY/edit?usp=sharing">syllabus
template</a> for help! Applicants looking to relist STICs should also contact their department and the
STICs board as soon as possible. Please reach out to <a href="mailto:stics@umd.edu">stics@umd.edu</a> for
more information.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-8">
<h2>Important Notes</h2>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Depending on the department, Faculty advisors may only be able to advise up to 1 STIC at a time.</li>
<li>Depending on the department, students may be restricted from acting as a TA for another course while
facilitating a STIC.
<li>Depending on the department, the student facilitator role may be a volunteer position, paid position,
or a study credit opportunity.</li>
<li>Before proposing a STIC associated with College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, please refer to the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/182FcV21Nut3nJrrNp_hLe3UmVZAesrmY/edit?pli=1#heading=h.otr2rxk6tyx7">BSOS Internal Guidelines for STIC Courses</a>.
<li>Please reach out to <a href="mailto:stics@umd.edu">stics@umd.edu</a> with any questions about the
application process!</li>
</ul>

<h2>How do I apply?</h2>
<br>
<h3>Step 1: Plan Your Topic</h3>
<p>Think about what class you would want to create. Make sure that your course topic is both related to your
major and unqiue (check that no current course covers your course topic). We advise you to discuss your
course topic with professors, so you can get feedback before you move forward with your application.
Finally, Create a one paragraph description of your course where you include a title, course objectives,
and any other relevant information. This is the information you want to use to convince someone the course
is needed and relevant.</p>
<h3>Step 2: Find a Faculty Advisor</h3>
<p>
Faculty advisors are required for every STIC. You must find a faculty advisor that is part of the
department you want your class offered in (i.e., an ARTT course would have an ARTT faculty advisor). Your
faculty advisor should be someone who trusts you and would feel comfortable supervising and taking
responsibility for your class. You can find an outline of what to look for in a faculty advisor <a
target="_blank"
href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1c81bq5qzxsRwFHC6SItoWc0ya5Zxa4Bq7NvIAlWlfCc">here</a>.
<br>
<br>
Once you have found an advisor, review the <a target="_blank"
href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/16aH374sD0tF8e0YEW6IOdo46rGCUbvAA/view?usp=sharing">Student-Faculty
Agreement</a> with him/her. Both you and your faculty advisor must sign this document, and you are
responsible for emailing a copy of the signed document to <a href="mailto:stics@umd.edu">stics@umd.edu</a>
as part of your application.
</p>
<h3>Step 3: Create a Full Syllabus</h3>
<p>After finding a faculty advisor, develop a syllabus including a schedule and course outline. Think about
what class you would want to create, and make a 15 week schedule for it. We recommend outlining sample
quizzes, homeworks, and/or tests at this time to help you adjust the scope of your class if necessary.
Make sure to discuss your syllabus with your faculty advisor. Head over to our <a target="_blank"
href="catalog.html">catalog</a> and check our some existing syllabi (preferably from your department or
ones “like” yours) as examples. In addition, we also have a <a
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P7njaPci1mp3mk9TBXHTTJNOXD5iOWC3h1_495PMIJY/edit?usp=sharing"
target="_blank">syllabus template</a> you may follow.</p>
<h3>Step 4: Reach Out to STICs</h3>
<p>
Message us via email at <a href="mailto:stics@umd.edu">stics@umd.edu</a>. Please share with us the
syllabus and class title. We will help you through the next step (finding a faculty advisor), review your
materials, and advise you on anything that we think will make your class more likely to be approved by the
department.
<!-- <br><br> -->
<!-- This step must be completed by <strong class="highlight">March 22nd, 2019</strong> -->
</p>
<h3>Step 5: Review + Iterate</h3>
<p>You will need to iterate until your faculty advisor is satisfied with the syllabus.</p>
<h3>Step 6: Department Approval</h3>
<p>
Now you're ready to apply to get department approval for your course!
