Lehrveranstaltungen sind Orte intensiver Begegnung und Auseinandersetzung. Soll ein offener und kreativer Diskurs ermöglicht und befördert werden, bedarf es einer guten Kenntnis der anderen Teilnehmer: des Lehrenden und der Studierenden.
Short rounds of introductions provide an easy and personal introduction. It is interesting to introduce the students (and the teacher) to each other.
First, the neighbour is questioned in interviews lasting around 10 minutes. Example questions are
- Who are you?
- Where will you be in ten years?
- Why did you choose this degree programme?
After getting to know each other, the interview partner can be introduced in the introduction round.
