We will be examining available resources to review existing worked-through exemplars for strengths and possibilities for improvement. \nThis session fulfills Competency 1 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program.  \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/prompting-cookbook/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Learning Community END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260414T110000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260414T121500 DTSTAMP:20260404T134741 CREATED:20260202T144220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260202T152844Z UID:3894-1776164400-1776168900@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Teaching & Learning Community for Graduate Students and Postdocs – April Gathering DESCRIPTION:The Teaching & Learning Community for Graduate Students and Postdocs is a monthly Zoom-based gathering space where graduate students\, postdocs\, faculty\, and staff engage in conversations about teaching and learning in higher education.
