The information below gives you an overview of which tasks and responsibilities you undertake as a course leader and which are carried out by the PhD course administration. Remember to always let the administation know of any changes or updates to your course, including dates and venue.
Course leader responsibilities include:
- Compliance to the PhD course administration's deadlines and information requests
- Sending updated course programmes and course descriptions to the PhD course administration
- Sending any course changes to the PhD course administration
- Sending any seating requests from participants or other to the PhD course administration
- IT equipment at booked course venues (HE IT can support this task)
- Venue bookings outside VAB and the conference centre
- Any extra course information to be send to course participants - not cancellation information or change in dates or venue (this should always be sent out via the PhD course administration).
- Upload of course materials to Brightspace (see practical information)
- Adding extra teachers/course leaders to Brightspace (see practical information)
- Checking and changing course information in Brightspace (see practical information)
- Responding to surveys
- Answering academic questions about the course content
- PhD students who are included as teaching assistants are expected to be actively teaching – course leader must ensure this.
Please note that there can only be one course leader per course. Payment of course leader hours and attendance hours can only be made to one course leader. If you share the course leader tasks with another person this will not be remunerated to the other person.
Please note that PhD Students cannot be course leaders.
Please note, that we expect the courses to be held in English by default.
