Being a new assisting teacher within higher education puts demands of awareness on the teacher within all kinds of aspects of teaching. One has to be able to activate and motivate one’s students, describe one’s subject in an understandable way, have an ability to appraise the students’ understanding and know parts of the students’ previous knowledge. Furthermore one is often required to give good advice to students when tutoring, coaching and discussing with students. All this often require, or is improved by, preparation, practice and reflection together with reading and sharing experiences and ideas about teaching and learning with others, which this course aims to help you with.
