12.10.2023, 09:30am-4:30pm, on campus, ZLL, room E 4.033 (Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3): Supervising and Assessing Theses (Katrin Billerbeck) – german

Supervising (final) theses is a responsible and rather challenging task. In engineering, usually little writing is done in undergraduate programs. Therefore, students often have to learn academic writing and its conventions at the end of their studies. In addition, international students may be familiar with different academic conventions and styles of interaction between university members. How can you support these students in writing their thesis, proactively counteract challenges, and create transparency about the requirements?

Objectives and contents

When supervising (final) theses of international students, you might encounter additional issues to the already existing challenges, e.g. because students are not yet familiar with academic or discipline-specific conventions, because there may be language barriers or because different interaction and communication styles are used. Therefore, the aim of this workshop is to work out needs and requirements in the supervision of international students and to develop solutions for specific challenges.

The following questions will be addressed:

• How can you support particularly international students in writing their thesis?
• What challenges, if any, have you already experienced in supervision?
• How could you prevent misunderstanding and create a common understanding of the expectations and respective responsibilities?
• How do you give appropriate feedback – even in difficult situations?

Learning objectives

At the end of the workshop, you will be able to assess what is important to you in the process of supervision and how you deal with challenging situations or proactively counteract challenges.

Methods

This Hands On Workshop offers a mix of impulse lectures, small group work, example work and time for exchange among each other.

To prepare/ to bring

Challenging situations in the supervising process.

Tue, 23.01.2024, 10:30am-4:00pm, on campus, Channel4, Room HS28 0.01 (Harburger Schloßstraße 28): Accompanying students as co-researchers in final theses – with or without AI? (Ulrike Bulmann, Nadine Stahlberg) – bilingual

Bachelor’s and Master’s theses are often a great challenge for students. However, they are also a great opportunity and step for entering the respective subject community, be it in research or practice. For teachers, the supervision of theses is also often challenging, but at the same time offers great potential for their own professional and personal development. But: How does it work – especially in ages of AI?

Objectives and contents

In this workshop, based on research-based learning, we will work together on questions related to the supervision of students as co-researchers in final theses:
How do I supervise typical student writing phases and provide feedback in the writing/research process? How can I facilitate student autonomy from within my roles? How can I work in partnership with students in the research process? What best practices individual student support can I apply? Which implication does the usage of AI have for supervision and thesis writing? What strategies can I use in my own case and case studies to deal with challenging situations in teaching practice?

Learning objectives

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to discuss in depth specific aspects in supervising students in final projects with a research attitude for later implementation in their own teaching practice – also in the ages of AI.

Methods

The workshop is divided into self-study and attendance time. By means of small group work, plenary discussions, case work and collegial exchange, students will develop their own focal points.

To prepare/ to bring

Participation requires a 90min self-study time until the beginning of the workshop. The self-study time is part of the total workshop hours. Participants are welcome to bring challenging situations from their own thesis supervision if possible.

11.03.2024, 9:30am-4:30pm, on campus, ZLL, Room E 4.033 (Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 3): Developing suitable assessment (Katrin Billerbeck) – German

Examinations are an essential part of the education system and represent a challenge for both students and teachers. The conception of meaningful examination methods and -tasks, with which the learning objectives can actually be tested, is also demanding against the background of sometimes high numbers of participants as well as formal and legal requirements.

Objectives and contents

In this workshop, we will address the question of what constitutes a good exam in the first place, which exam and formative test variants there are, and which formal and legal frameworks need to be considered. How can these diverse requirements be reconciled? We will also discuss the conditions under which text-generating AI could be integrated into teaching and assessing.

The following aspects will be addressed:

• General conditions and challenges of examinations
• Variety of examination and feedback formats
• Case studies of good exams

Learning objectives

Thu, July 04, 2024, 9am-4pm, Campus Presence, HS28-0.01, Harburger Schloßstraße 28: Designing research-based learning with AI-Tools (Ulrike Bulmann) – bilingual

Students at the TU Hamburg are shapers of the future who strive for problem-oriented, interdisciplinary, responsible, cooperative and scientific work according to the guiding principles of teaching. To this end, the TU Hamburg strengthens, among other things, the format of research-based learning. But: How can teachers didactically design research-based learning or engage students in research in their courses that continues to meet these demands in times of artificial intelligence and how can the implementation succeed in their own online teaching, in blended learning formats or face-to-face teaching at the TU Hamburg?

Objectives and contents

Based on a common understanding of the terms, we will work together on the following questions concerning the development of a research-based learning and engaging students in research in courses:

• How do I plan a course for research-based learning or engaging students in research and which creative (e.g. brainstorming method), planning (e.g. macro- and microgrids) or AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) are available to me? What exactly do I use them for, how do they work, what are their advantages, what are their limitations?
• Which didactic principles do I have to consider for planning and designing teaching?
• Which teaching methods, media and AI tools can I use responsibly to promote student subject and research competencies aligned with the assessment form?
• How can I design such a course with reasonable effort?
• Which teaching examples exist at the TU Hamburg?
• What is being discussed (inter)nationally about research-based learning with AI?
• How can I develop a research-based learning concept for my own course?

Learning objectives

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to develop research-based learning or to even engage students in research in their courses according to didactic principles and with suitable AI-supported tools for implementation in their own teaching practice.

Methods

The workshop offers a varied mix of creative methods, self-study time and work in small groups, practical examples from the TU Hamburg as well as inputs.

To prepare/ to bring
