In our first podcast in English, we welcome Melina Amor, who won the Prize for Excellence in Teaching - Special Prize for Young Teachers for her course "Molecular Diagnostics“. In this podcast, Melina Amor talks about the importance of student evaluations, not only at the end of a course. She describes what the pandemic changed in higher education teaching and what her learnings from this period are. She also talks about how to stay up-to-date with new developments in teaching and which support she has received from TU Graz to improve her teaching and engage her students in lectures and laboratories.
