1. Expectations Widening my knowledge of general pedagogic methods and learning teaching structure at Aalborg University. I hope that I learn the teaching system of Aalborg University for improving teaching-skills. It will be interesting to compare my experience with the theory and experience of others. I also expect that I will learn how to be a better project supervisor. I hope to get some insight in the problem based learning model and how that model affects the teaching of courses. I hope to learn more about problem based learning since I got my own education from very traditional universities.

2. Expectations - 2 I would like to be generally better prepared, also from the 'pedagogic' point of view. That is the main reason why I decided to subscribe for your course. Moreover, I am interested in experience from other departments. To learn about better supervision and research Management. To understand better how to formulate teaching plans & what particular things to look for when supervising for the masters students level. Understand the way university studies are organised at AAU and in Denmark. Get to know the rules, procedures and habits. I therefore hope that the course will help me to manage some of the upcoming tasks regarding project supervision and teaching.
