Preparing a course
Leiden University offers practical facilities and support to ensure your teaching runs smoothly. Here you will find all information about procedures and tools, as well as answers to questions such as: How do I borrow audiovisual equipment? What are the guidelines for assessment? And how do I reserve a lecture hall?
Reserving equipment
Do you need extra equipment, such as a camera, microphone, or voice recorder? At most faculties, you can borrow these audiovisual resources for teaching and research purposes. View the options and borrowing conditions per location.
Presentations
A strong presentation helps to convey your message. Check out the tips for the structure and delivery of your lecture or talk. You can also download PowerPoint templates in the Leiden University house style here.
Procedures
Every faculty has its own procedures for matters such as course registration, publishing timetables, and submitting grades. Here you will find an overview of the regulations and forms that apply specifically to your faculty or study programme.
Tests and theses
Assessment provides insight into the level and progress of your students. Find out about the different assessment methods, from digital testing and online grading to the use of rubrics and plagiarism detection. You will also find manuals here for tools such as Brightspace, Ans, and Turnitin.
Reserving rooms
Do you need a room for a lecture, meeting, or event? You can easily reserve a room in one of the university buildings via the self-service portal. For specific teaching rooms or complex requests, you can contact Room Management (Zalenbeheer) or the Service Desk.
