Description
The course focuses on the development of courses and the ability to plan, conduct, and reflect on teaching within the subjects relevant at the IT faculty. For this purpose, course participants will conduct a collaborative peer assessment of another course given at the faculty: the participant as the reviewer and the course coordinator as well as the other involved staff of the course being assessed will collaborate with each other to foster reflection and discussion about teaching practices. The peer assessment will include subject-specific considerations and will result in constructive feedback for the reviewed teacher as well as a reflection report that discusses the impact of the review on the participant's own teaching practice.
PIL102 at the IT faculty will be taught in an individual fashion. With support from the course coordinator, the participant will conduct a peer assessment of a course taught at the IT faculty. For this purpose, the participant will create a peer assessment plan and then conduct the assessment and analyse the results. This data will be analysed in the context of subject-specific literature that the participant will search and review. The findings will be the subject of a report that is shared with the teacher of the assessed course and discussed in a meeting. The report and the meeting are the basis for examination.

About course certificates
PIL102 is a certification course. All course meetings and assignments are mandatory and require attendance. In some cases, it will be possible to submit a supplementary assignment that corresponds to the meeting or assignment missed. To be approved for a certificate, you must also achieve the learning objectives in the course syllabus.
PIL102 was introduced on January 1, 2021 as a replacement for the credit course HPE102, which was then phased out. The content and basic structure of PIL102 are the same as for HPE102, and the course gives the same eligibility.
Information for doctoral students
Have you taken PIL102 as a compulsory course in your doctoral studies? When you have received your certificate of a completed and approved course, you should hand the certificate to the person who is the administrator (or equivalent) for your doctoral studies. That person registers the course as approved in Ladok for doctoral studies.
