Three Prizes for Academic Teaching – Why?
By awarding three prizes (1st, 2nd and 3rd prize) for good academic teaching, Osnabrück University and the Hans Mühlenhoff Foundation would like to underline the importance of good academic teaching and encourage lecturers in their commitment to good teaching. The 1st prize of the Hans Mühlenhoff Award for Good Academic Teaching is endowed with €2.500, the 2nd prize with €1.500 and the 3rd prize with €1.000. The next teaching awards ceremony will take place on June 20, 2024.
All students are invited to make it clear through their nominations who they believe has particularly supported them in their studies. Anyone currently teaching at Osnabrück University (full-time lecturers and lecturers) can be nominated for the awards.
Suggest a lecturer who, in your opinion, does particularly well in fulfilling the following criteria:
- Structuring of the course
- Topicality of the course content
- Promotion of problem-orientated and research-based learning
- Promotion of independent learning and independent action
- Creation of interdisciplinary contexts
- Establishing the connection to professional practice
- Sensible use of modern media and materials
- Counselling, feedback and supervision skills
- Creative and innovative forms of examination
- Promotion of team-orientated work and learning
How does the selection process work?
The proposals must be explained in detail and must be supported by at least five students. The explanatory statement should not exceed three DIN A4 pages. Please send the documents only by e-mail to daniela.raeuwer@uni-osnabrueck.de.
The awards for good academic teaching are intended to emphasise the interests of students. For this reason, students not only play a key role in the nomination process, but also in the selection of the award winners: a jury of students with tutorial experience, chaired by the Vice President for Academic Program Development , Prof. Dr Jochen Oltmer, decides on the proposals.
