Teaching Cultures Survey: a cross-institutional survey on university teaching

How does our academic community view teaching and learning at TU Delft? Is education important in Delft? Is being a good lecturer rewarding? This is the subject of the Teaching Cultures Survey where you are invited to fill in (whether or not you are involved in teaching at the moment). TU Delft will use the results of the survey as an important input to consider and design improvements concerning our teaching culture. In particular, we are interested in learning more about your teaching experiences at TU Delft: the way teaching in Delft is recognized and rewarded and your view on education as a career track. 

You will receive the link in your mailbox on 9 May, and the survey will be open between 9 May and 24 May. The survey is open between 9 May and 24 May. It takes about six minutes to complete and is completely anonymous and confidential.
