Online Talks 11-15h

11-12h Promovieren oder nicht?

Die Entscheidung für eine Promotion ist weitrechend: Sie bestimmt die Arbeitsinhalte und das Umfeld für die nächsten drei bis fünf Jahre, und sie beeinflusst die weiteren beruflichen Chancen. Der Vortrag gibt Impulse, damit Sie Ihre eigene Entscheidung so gut wie möglich treffen können: Was kann dafür, was kann dagegensprechen, eine Promotion zu beginnen? Und worauf sollten Sie achten, wenn Sie sich für eine Promotion entscheiden?

12-13h Gute Lehre von Anfang an - Impuls aus der Hochschuldidaktik

Kaum das Abschlusszeugnis in der Hand stehen viele junge Wissenschaftler_innen vor der Aufgabe, selbst Lehrveranstaltungen zu leiten. Die Meisten betreten damit didaktisches Neuland, denn schließlich sind Fragen der Planung und Konzeptionierung von Lehre nur in den seltensten Fällen Bestandteil des Studiums. Doch wann ist Lehre gut? Wie innovativ muss meine Lehre sein? Woran orientiere ich mich bei der Konzeption und Durchführung von Lehrveranstaltungen? Und wer unterstützt mich dabei, all die kleinen und großen Herausforderungen des Lehralltags zu meistern? Diese Fragen werden im Vortrag beantwortet.

14-15h Wissenschaftliches Schreiben

Ohne die Forschung in angemessener Weise kommunizieren zu können, ist Wissenschaft undenkbar. Deshalb stellt das wissenschaftliche Schreiben eine der grundlegenden Fertigkeiten für die Arbeit an der Universität dar. Gerade junge Akademiker_innen müssen sich darin schulen, müssen sich ein Wissen über Textsorten und Schreibtechniken aneignen, müssen Sprachgefühl, Reflexionsvermögen und Selbstkritik üben. Zudem sollten sie zu einem "gesunden" Umgang mit dem Schreiben finden, um sich vor physischer und psychischer Überlastung zu schützen. Der Vortrag zeigt, wie sie dabei vorgehen können und welche Möglichkeiten der Unterstützung es an der FSU gibt.
