ZSKB tutor qualification
ZSKB tutor qualification
Across all departments at the University of Oldenburg, tutors support teaching and provide guidance to students, particularly during the first semesters of their degree programmes.
Through the ZSKB tutor training programme, we aim to prepare you for your role as a tutor and make it easier for you to settle into your new role. As part of the training programme, you will acquire a wide range of skills to help you design tutorials that promote learning. You will reflect on your role as a student tutor and work specifically on applying what you have learnt in practice.
All tutors are warmly invited to take part.
Participation is compulsory for students leading a tutorial for the first time.
You can put together your own personalised programme of events. Please feel free to discuss your selection with the lecturers responsible for your tutorial group. We recommend attending at least two or three workshops.
