Course sessions constitute units of learning that have to be carefully designed. When planning a session, it is essential to adapt the teaching methods and modes of working to the teaching aims and learning objectives. In the workshop you will learn key skills such as defining teaching aims and learning objectives and learn how to structure the single sessions of your courses meaningfully. Also, you will get the chance to discuss your own session syllabi.

In particular we will address the following questions:

  • How do I structure a course session? How do I design the initial and concluding phase? 
  • Which teaching methods and working forms are useful and to which ends? 
  • Which possibilities to react do I have if the course of a session does not meet my expectations?

The workshop has two phases. It starts with an introduction, thematic input and a general discussion of the topic. In the second phase, we will work on your session syllabi. Please bring them to the event or upload them to StudIP in advance!

Many offerings of the Teaching Centre can be credited as working units in the basic certificate “Kompetenz für professionelle Hochschullehre” (Competencies for Professional University Teaching) of the Hochschuldidaktisches Netzwerk Mittelhessen (HDM). For further information, please contact the HDM directly.
