Information for lecturers at Department IV

Whether you are interested in a teaching assignment, new to the Department or have been there for years: questions arise here and there in connection with teaching assignments, and it is not always clear how they can be answered or who should even be asked.

Some of these questions (and answers) can be found here, grouped according to when the questions usually arise. The overview is by no means exhaustive and will be expanded as required: please send any suggestions to stefanie.gora@ 8< SPAM protection, please remove >8 hwg-lu.de. Detailed information can be found (after logging into the intranet) in the welcome folder for lecturers (under the red heading "Welcome folder") from the Human Resources Department, which you will have received electronically together with other documents before the start of the semester if you are a new lecturer.

With this in mind, we are delighted that you are involved in the Department or are considering doing so in the future!

Before applying as a lecturer

Unsolicited applications can be made centrally via stellenportal.hs-lu.de/de/jobposting/0036d67a4dd6aad53be2e40979686bd028ba2f490/apply. Alternatively, if you know any educators in the Department, please contact them personally.

In addition to content expertise, you need a formal qualification, which is usually proven by a relevant university degree. However, depending on the teaching area, a professional qualification (training plus professional experience) may also be a prerequisite.

To apply for a teaching position, we require the following documents: Curriculum vitae; examination certificate as proof of qualification; completed and signed personnel questionnaire; declaration on the publication of name, title/professional title, e-mail address on the Department's website

You will be paid for the hours of teaching (each 45-minute unit). Depending on your qualifications, the remuneration is between 30 euros and 46 euros per semester hour per week. Details: https://www.hwg-lu.de/job-karriere/hochschule-als-arbeitgeberin/job-karriere-an-der-hochschule

Travel expenses are generally reimbursed in accordance with the provisions of the State Travel Expenses Act.
Please note: The limitation period for travel expenses is six months and begins on the day after the end of the teaching assignment.

The total of your teaching assignments may not exceed 6 SWS per semester. If you have teaching assignments at several universities in Rhineland-Palatinate, the 6 SWS apply to the total of teaching assignments at all universities.

Preparations for the semester

The basic content requirements of a course are described in the module handbook. The module handbooks for the respective degree programs can be found at https://www.hwg-lu.de/studium/bachelor or https://www.hwg-lu.de/studium/master. The module (social work) or course (nursing and health) supervisors provide information on details.

The Department of Studies and Education provides support with didactic issues: https: //www.hwg-lu.de/hochschule/organisation/zentrale-einheiten/studium-lehre/angebote-fuer-lehrende.

At the new shared campus, there will be a 15-minute break between each 90-minute block. At lunchtime, there are two slots for lunch breaks and, if necessary, visiting the canteen (either from 11:30 - 12:30 or from 13:15 - 14:15). Your education times may differ from this if you teach in Turmstraße or in units other than 90 minutes.

An HWG e-mail address is set up approximately one month before the start of the teaching assignment. For the winter semester, for example, in July. It is deactivated one semester after the teaching assignment ends.

All e-mail communications are sent to your HWG e-mail address. For data protection reasons, no other private or business address may be used.

This account gives you access to: WLAN, logging on to the computers in the PC pools, webmail client, VPN, OpenOlat and more. The account will be set up for you by the IT Service Center.

Attendance is compulsory for selected courses in the Bachelor of Social Work and in the Bachelor's degree programs in Midwifery Science and Nursing. If this affects one of your courses, you will be informed by the degree programs.

Each course should be evaluated at least once every three years. There is a set rhythm for this. It is therefore possible that one of your courses will be evaluated in the current semester. You will be contacted individually for this purpose. The evaluation takes place online (usually during the course).

Only you can view the results for your own course. Aggregated results at degree program level are published in the Department's evaluation report(https://olat.vcrp.de/auth/RepositoryEntry/3183214966/CourseNode/103564688671035).

Yes, this is possible. The departments of Studies and Education provide a questionnaire that can be integrated into openOLAT for this purpose: https: //olat.vcrp.de/auth/RepositoryEntry/2872116005/CourseNode/102884682159180

Alternatively, you can also use your own form of evaluation. Tools are, for example, Pingohttps://wiwi.uni-paderborn.de/dep5/wirtschaftspaedagogik-prof-beutner/forschung/abgeschlossene-forschungsprojekte/pingo or Mentimeterhttps://www.mentimeter.com/de-DE

Please inform the semester planning office(Semesterplanung@ 8< SPAM protection, please remove >8 hwg-lu.de (stating the course title or number if applicable)) and your students via openOLAT.

Please also cc the degree program coordinator of your degree programs in the e-mail.

The examination period immediately follows the lecture period and extends over three weeks. Detailed information can be found on the pages of the Department's Examination Board: https: //www.hwg-lu.de/fachbereiche/fachbereich-sozial-und-gesundheitswesen/pruefungen

The module coordinators will provide you with details about examinations.
If necessary, please remind students to register for an examination with you within the examination registration period . Thank you!

After the semester

Please send the accounting form after the end of the semester to Christiane Scholz(Christiane.Scholz@hwg-lu.de), Dean's Assistant in Department IV.
