Onderwijs & Studeren

Update 30 juni 2020:

Starting documentation 

The following documents describe more detailed the guidelines and conceptualization for implementation: 

AE Guiding Principles: Describes the guiding principles for our education for the upcoming first semester. It is based on the experiences with remote education from staff and students. 
AE Course organization: Provides an overview of what needs to be taken into account in preparing, delivering and assessing courses. It can serve as a general checklist, based on different guidelines and regulations (faculty and TU Delft)
Implementation Education: Conceptualization of how the guidelines can be implemented for different student cohorts. Implementation will be an iterative process, whereby feasibility and planning (incl. for scheduling) is to be discussed with staff involved. Please note that this document is not downloadable as it is still a concept. To request the document, please contact the ESA department at the faculty.
Overview TU Delft COVID-19: Provides an overview of different measures on education that have been established within the TU Delft (and tailored specifically for our Faculty)

Making extra costs for realizing education

In case you need to purchase material, or hire (more) Teaching Assistants, please note that Faculty is accommodating budget to be able to offer the best education we can. Requesting budget, as hiring Teaching Assistants, will follow the regular procedures:

  • Bachelor courses: Email the Director of Education (as of July 1st to Joris Melkert) to request budget for materials and/or (additional) hours for hiring Teaching Assistants. 
  • Master courses: Email your department manager to request budget for materials and/or (additional) Teaching Assistance. Each department has specific COVID-19 budgetcodes that can be used for this. 
  • General costs for education: In case there are general educational costs, that are not necessarily department-specific the Director of Education can be contacted to see which budget can be addressed. 


Complex puzzle and disclaimers 
Organizing our education in Q1 and Q2 is a highly complex puzzle. We don’t want to compromise on the quality of our education, but at the same time we are subject to still unfolding regulations and plans. Also: we need to be prepared for a worst case scenario of a second wave of Covid-19, where all education has again to continue fully remote. Please bear with us. We will inform you as soon as we can.  

What’s next? 
Now that we have directions, we can start preparing our education for next semester. The guidelines and conceptualized implementations are not written in stone, but are aimed to be able to move forward with offering the best education for all students and staff involved. In the following week, faculty Education & Student Affairs will reach out the bachelor course managers (i.e. via Floris Keehnen), minor coordinators (i.e. via Sander Barendrecht) and MSc track coordinators (i.e via Katinka Scholten/Sander Barendrecht) to:

(a) further inventory and offer support for what is needed to realize education next semester,
(b) discuss and offer advice on implementing the education, and
(c) to inventory practical matters, such as coordinating the scheduling. 

You do not have to wait (if you haven’t already started) until we have contacted you to start preparing your course(s). We hope that with these guidelines you have sufficient information to proceed in your preparations.
