Description
Many questions may rise when teaching in a lecture hall, a seminar, exercises or lab courses for the very first time:
How can I get into teaching?
How to prepare myself and the lesson/course?
How do I want to be perceived by the students?
What are my and what are the students’ expectations?
How to design the lesson/course?
