Professional feedback on your teaching
You’d like detailed advice concerning your lecture or seminar? You’d like to gain insight into how you could further develop your teaching? Servicestelle LehreLernen offers individual feedback in response to this and similar requests.
You have the opportunity to have one of your lectures video recorded. The video will be made available to you so that you can see your teaching behaviour from a new perspective. As an alternative, a member of the LehreLernen Team can attend and sit in at your teaching event.
Following the recording or observation, you will receive structured feedback in an individual session and the chance to discuss selected aspects of your teaching event more in-depth.
If you want your lecture or seminar to be recorded, please write an e-mail to lehrelernen@uni-jena.de.
Offer your own workshop
Postdocs teach their peers: A PhD candidate or postdoc who wants to share specific knowledge and competencies with others can do so via holding a workshop in the Graduate Academy's qualification programme. Run by doctoral researchers, we've had workshops on research methods, presentation skills, literature management and other topics.
Teaching a one-day workshop for doctoral candidates can expand your teaching experience and could be a step to prepare for a career involving education and training. The Graduate Academy evaluates your concept before the workshop and offers to coach you during the preparation. You will also receive a honorary fee or compensation for your expenses.
If you want to offer a Doc4Doc workshop, please contact Mareike Timm.
