Behavioral Presentation

It was pretty chill, just a friendly questionnaire to see how passionate you are about teaching and if you can actually teach what you know. The questions were meant to get you talking about your experiences and how much you like sharing knowledge. Basically, they wanted to know if you're qualified and also genuinely interested in education.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Group

So, for grad school, you usually get an invite after they look at your application. Sometimes it's a one-on-one, sometimes a panel or group chat, and maybe they'll ask for a portfolio or a presentation. They'll dig into your academic background, what you want to research, your career plans, and if you'd be a good fit for the program. You might get asked about your personal traits, what you can do, and how you handle ethical stuff. Then, they'll let you know what they decided. Basically, they're checking if you're qualified academically, if you've got research potential, and if you're the right kind of person to get into their grad programs.
