During the academic year 2024-2025, the Humanities faculty offers several workshops for lecturers. You can choose 1 or more of the workshops below.

Intervision

Discussing pedagogical issues.

Intervision involves working on pedagogical issues that participants bring from their own teaching. Together they explore a range of solutions to issues such as “How can I get all my students to participate actively in class?" or "How do I deal with students who don't prepare for lectures?”
