Short description

Half-way in your PhD, you now know what being a PhD student really is about. It is also a turning point where questions such as “what options do I have”, “how can I make the most of my doctoral degree” and  “how do I make a sensible choice for my future career “ may start to pop up and cause both excitement and concern. This workshop aims at giving you the tools to answer those questions and to support you in being able to make an informed choice for the next step in your career. In the workshop, you will consider 1. your professional development so far and whether there competences you would like to improve during your part b, and 2. How you can start preparing for the transition by building your network, understanding your options and increasing your awareness of what a “good” job/work life is to you.

This is a blended learning course in university teaching and learning that lays the foundation for reflective teachers at the PhD-level. It introduces the following topics: Constructive alignment, Student-centered teaching, Learning outcomes, Feedback, Reflective teaching logbooks. Activities include reading materials, watching videos, producing texts and models, participating in individual and group activities both in-class and out-of-class, developing lesson plans and teaching logbooks, as well as giving peer feedback. Completion of the course, receiving ECTS credit, and obtaining a diploma require active online participation, completion of all activities (including peer feedback and logbook), and adherence to activity deadlines.
