Production of learning material

“What becomes to the consistency of the material and to the enthusiasm and knowledge of teacher, your lectures had been the most excellent ones I have never participated in the University. (Student Feedback)

I have always produced my own learning material based on my own research and never simply lectured or taught on given textbooks or on material produced by someone else. This has been the case both in my lecture courses as in my methodological seminars.

The material has been shared with the students in different forms, mainly as slide material and as a textual and visual material, which they had been able to receive straight from the digital environments.

I have also constructed special web courses including recordings, visual and textual materials. All my lecture courses had been supported by digital environments and lectures had been distributed for students in the form of very extensive presentation handouts.

My teaching is always research based and my lectures are connected to the ongoing research projects.

I have prepared thirteenth different research based lecture series and over 30 individual lectures.
