"Dialogue Process Teaching"
The working group "Dialogue Process Teaching" is a working group that systematically deals with the profile of the spatial planning degree programs at the department, the basic design and structure of the degree programs as well as the content and didactic quality of the courses offered. In an open and broad discussion process involving all members of the department, improvements for the degree programs are to be identified (including suggestions for improving the quality of the studies and the studyability of the degree programs) in order to continue to ensure good teaching and learning conditions. The working group does not make any decisions, but draws up recommendations that are passed on to the Commission for Studies and Teaching (KSL) or discussed with the KSL.
