Basic Knowledge of University Teaching

The book shows concisely and clearly how to plan, conduct, and evaluate university courses. It is suitable for beginners without any pedagogical or didactic training, but also for experienced lecturers who want to enrich their teaching with new ideas. Teaching is a challenging task, as most lecturers are excellently trained in their subject area, but have never learned how to convey complex content as efficiently as possible. In addition to the fundamental didactics that should underpin a course, practical methods are also described, along with explanations on how to conduct evaluations meaningfully and profitably. The Author Dr. Andreas Osterroth is a certified teacher in Mathematics, German, and Sports, and works as a lecturer at the Institute of German Studies in the field of Linguistics/Language Didactics at the RPTU Landau.
