Basic Knowledge of University Teaching - Methodology - Didactics - Evaluation

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 instructors 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.
