Start! Teaching for Students

FAQ

The modules are not shown on the Academic Record / Transcript of Record, is that correct?

The "Start! Teaching for Students" modules always appear on the Academic Record after the module has been passed. Recognition and booking may vary depending on the study regulations. Further information can be found on the STS website.

In addition, there are cases in which students must decide for themselves where they want to have the credit (i.e. the ECTS points of our modules) recognised. Students must then manually assign the credit to the corresponding study programme (major/minor). You can find more information about this process here.

I would like to book several modules at the same time, is that a good idea or do you advise something else?

Several modules can be completed at the same time, but we advise caution due to the mandatory online activities/ workshops. If all mandatory dates can be attended and there is enough time for self-study, any number of modules can be booked. 

Is there an order in which the modules should best be attended?

Nein, die Module können unabhängig voneinander gebucht werden. 

I'm tutoring next semester and would like to have worked through the courses before the start of the semester. Is this possible?

The OLAT courses start two weeks before the start of the semester. This leaves enough time to work on the asynchronous parts of the modules. However, there are additional synchronous workshops during the semester.

Can the modules be taken at the same time while I'm tutoring?

Yes, that's no problem and can complement the tutoring well.

Does access to the OLAT courses and bookings for online events mean that I have also booked the module?

No, it doesn't. All modules must be booked via the regular module booking at UZH.

After completing the "Start! Teaching for Students" modules, do I automatically receive a tutorial?

No. The allocation of TA positions is the responsibility of the institutes. Your participation in the "Start! Teaching for Students" modules can be used as a reference.

Can I take part in the "Start! Teaching for Students" modules in my first semesters or is that too early?

This is generally not a problem, as the programme builds up didactic skills and competencies as well as tutoring-specific knowledge. However, your study regulations may prevent you from booking our modules. Please contact the School for Transdisciplinary Studies for more information School for Transdisciplinary Studies.

Can I find a tutoring position at UZH through you?

We are not a job portal, but offer modules at UZH that provide an introduction to didactics. In some programmes, these are counted as proof of a teaching qualification. The positions themselves are announced by the individual study programmes/institutes. It is best to contact the person responsible in your study programme/institute or your professors for tutoring positions directly.
