Cursussen voor PhD-studenten
Ben je een PhD-student die geïnteresseerd is in academisch onderwijs, maar op zoek is naar ondersteuning of training? Wij bieden cursussen aan voor promovendi die betrokken zijn bij onderwijsactiviteiten, supervisietaken, of gewoon diegenen die geïnteresseerd zijn in lesgeven (maar momenteel niet actief betrokken zijn bij cursussen). Momenteel bieden we drie PhD-cursussen aan: Start to Teach (STT), Start to Supervise (STS) en Introduction to Teaching (ITT).
Onze PhD-cursussen maken deel uit van de Career Perspectives Series (Inside Academia) van de Groningen Graduate Schools. De voertaal van alle cursussen is Engels.
Je kunt het stroomschema in de afbeelding hieronder gebruiken of de cursuspagina's raadplegen om te bepalen welke optie op jouw situatie van toepassing is.
NB. Aangezien de PhD courses enkel in het Engels worden aangeboden, zijn de onderstaande beschrijvingen enkel in het Engels beschikbaar.
As a PhD student, you may be asked to teach (a section of) a course. ‘Start to Teach’ is designed to cover the foundational principles of university teaching through a series of workshops that will support you as you embark on your teaching journey. This course assists you in planning and preparing your teaching activities, gives you the tools to engage and activate students, and shows you some best practices for giving feedback and assessing assignments and exams.
