Teaching
Good teaching is one of my key ambitions. My teaching concept describes and illustrates (in German) how I want to teach. My so called teaching portfolio describes what I mean with good teaching in more detail (but also only in German). In order to further improve my teaching I did many trainings and further do. I have earned a qualified certificate for university didactic during my time at TU Berlin.
In the following all my courses are listed as a reference. Please do not hesitate to ask about any course if you are interested.
