Further information provided by the department
Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme
There is regular communication with the departmental student body (informally and within the framework of the directorates). If necessary, teaching discussions between students, non-professorial teaching staff and the professors from the extracurricular education degree programme can be arranged at short notice, so that all participants can share their experiences. In addition, students have the opportunity to participate in the student course evaluation and later in the graduate survey. The departmental student body invites the teaching staff to a dialogue at irregular intervals.
