- Design of EducationLecture types Lectures A lecture is a presentation to a large group of students with the aim of teaching them something. A lecture is teacher-driven but the teacher does explicitly ask for input from all students. This input can be obtained through various activities. (digital) quizzes small assignments discussions etc. Tutorials A tutorial is a session in which a group of students works on assignments. The teachers mentions what the students should do ans is there to support the students while they work. Capita Selecta It is a series of meetings on a selection of topics, fitting a particular theme. Lab session During a lab session, students work on experiments. They may do this independently or under the guidance of a teacher. For a lab session to run smoothly, it is advisable to have a clear picture of the steps to be taken, this can be done by letting the students figure this out (and check it) themselves or by providing them with these. This can be done by letting the students figure out the steps on their
- Evaluation and reflectionAn evaluation aims to look critically at the teaching and check whether everything contributed to the student's learning and development. Evaluating teaching is important because it gives the lecturer information about how the students experienced the course. You can think about the organisation (was the timetable available on time?), the teaching (was the teacher's explanation clear?), the test (was it tested what the students expected?) etc. Based on this information, the teacher can decide to do things differently next time.

- Supervising studentsIndividual students If you supervise students for their thesis (BSc., MSc. or PhD) and the student delivers the quality within the set time, be happy and enjoy. But.... of course, it's possible that the student doesn't deliver on time, the quality is too low etc. What do you do? First, to find out what is causing the student's behaviour. There may be several reasons. Personal issues: If students have personal problems, refer them to the study advisor. The study advisor has the time and expertise to help the student. Thesis related issues: If the student has difficulty writing, refer the student to the Writing Centre. If the student struggles to understand the topic, find out what the student understands and where they are going wrong. Then, slow down, take smaller steps, and give the student extra support to understand the topic, e.g., by giving an article, explanation, etc. If the student doesn't get your feedback/ explanation, try a different supervision style. In UTQ we use the Hersey and Blanchard model. This
- TeachingDesigning a course, teaching, supervising students and evaluating your educational activities: where do you start? Design & Teaching When you design a programme, course or lesson, you might be working on three different levels, but it is always important to set up your design using the Constructive alignment (Biggs) in which you describe: Intended learning outcomes/ learning goals Learning and teaching methods The assessment These three elements should be part of every lesson. How you incorporate these elements into your lesson is up your preference, subject content, the students (BSc, MSc? Motivated? a lot of pre knowlegde? etc.), and practicalities such as how much time is scheduled in the timetable. More information and tips about how to design your lesson can be found at lesson plan.

- Testing and assessmentA teacher sets goals for a subject, and then some tutoring sessions follow, in which students, under the teacher's guidance, master the content. The final step is then often a test and a grade. This is a fairly classic way. The test aims to determine whether the students know enough, also known as a summative assessment. Nowadays, we know that it is wise to also measure where the students stand at that moment. This is more of an interim measurement that gives the teacher and students much information; we call this formative assessment. In this section, you will read more about how to design your test to test the students in a valid, reliable and transparent way.
