Teaching Lab

What is Teaching Lab?

Teaching Lab is our introduction to Teaching & Learning in Engineering Education. During the course you will design and deliver a short teaching session, and you will give and receive feedback.
Our active learning approach means that you will work actively most of the time in groups, and on your own. We will give a couple of short talks, but there will be no actual lectures.

Preparation

We expect you to prepare for the course by reading a few texts.
You will apply what you read actively in your individual and group work, so you must prepare and take notes with that in mind.
Preparation is expected to take a full day.
You will receive information about what to read approximately a week before the start of the course.

Attendance

Important: The course is intensive, and you need to make sure to not have any other meetings, teaching obligations, etc. during the course.
In order to pass the course participants must be present at least 90% of the time (Allowed absence: 2,4 hrs = 2 hrs 24 mins).
We keep attendance continuously during the course. If there is a unexpected emergency, and you must leave, please let us know.
