Teaching advice and teaching observation

As part of a teaching consultation, we make our university didactic expertise available for your specific questions. Questions addressed in a teaching consultation include, for example

  • How do I promote engagement and sustainable learning among students?
  • What methods do I use to encourage students to participate?
  • How do I motivate them to ask questions?
  • How do I coordinate course content and examination format?
  • How do I write an application for a teaching award?

In addition to, but also independently of a teaching consultation, we can accompany a course of your choice as part of a teaching observation. In a preliminary discussion or in the course of the teaching consultation, you clarify your concerns and select the focus of your observation. We will also be happy to give you feedback on your course planning, and the joint reflection following the observation serves to analyze the course and focuses on specific teaching and learning situations in your course.

As a further option for optimizing your teaching, we offer you a Teaching Analysis Poll. This is a question-based interim evaluation of your course. For this, you provide us with half an hour of your course about halfway through the semester, during which we gather feedback from students on key questions relating to your course. We will then discuss the results with you.
