Course description

Good teaching – there is more to it than a weekly lecture during the lecture period. As a university teacher, you have to face a multitude of challenges and demonstrate not only your professional but also your didactic skills and many other competencies. In addition, the diversity of students demands variety in your teaching.

The workshop addresses teachers of all departments who would like to design their teaching in a didactically meaningful way. You will get an insight into the basics of didactics in higher education as well as suitable methods. You will also learn how to professionalize your course designs as well as how to reflect on your own development as a lecturer. The workshop will enable you to formulate your learning outcomes in a structured and student-oriented way. Together with other teachers, you will analyze your target group and discuss your teaching methods as well as external influences. In this way, you lay the foundation for good teaching.
