Teaching qualification:
Higher education teaching certificate Weiterbildung in der Hochschullehre (WindH) obtained in 2013. The certificate is issued by the Competence Center for Didactics of Higher Education (KHN) at Braunschweig University of Technology, Germany, and is accredited by the German Society for Didactics in Higher Education (DGHD). The certificate program encompassed 14 one- and two-day courses plus a trial teaching session (amounting to a total of 225 study hours).
Courses taught:
Note: For most courses I have uploaded a syllabus, which may freely be used by individual academics for their own teaching purposes. Just pick and copy whatever you can use for your own teaching! However, commercial use, use by institutions, and re-publication of these materials in any manner are strictly prohibited. (When in doubt, ask me.) As I'm teaching in Germany these syllabuses are in German, but you should be able to get a clear idea of the course set-up anyway.
