Looking back on the Workshop „Lecturing Mathematics: Tools & Techniques to make your Lectures more Effective & Enjoyable”

03.10.2025

How can teaching mathematics at university be more effective - and more enjoyable - for both lecturers and students? That was the big question behind the workshop on "Lecturing Mathematics: Tools & Techniques to make your Lectures more Effective & Enjoyable" on 25th September.

Ass.-Prof. Angelika Manhart and Yasmin Dolak-Struss put the focus of this practice-orientated workshop on blending existing successful teaching techniques at our faculty with up-to-date insights from teaching research and learning design.

Participants ranged from early-career lecturers to highly experienced colleagues, making the exchange between peers a vital element of the workshop.

A main take-away was the importance of some powerful yet very simple techniques - such as visualisation, quick quizzes and short breaks.
