Faculty Guide to Teaching
Welcome to Teaching at SFU! The purpose of this guide is to provide new instructors with quick links and easy instructions to teaching resources, policies and support at SFU. We asked faculty members who recently joined SFU to let us know what they wish they had known when they started, and put together resources to address their questions. If there is any other information that would be helpful to you or future new faculty, please email us at ceesec@sfu.ca.
