Teaching
Teaching philosophy
Our teaching activities focus on high-quality and innovative university teaching in the fields of toxicology and nutritional science. Our teaching philosophy focuses on student-oriented, competence- and research-based learning and teaching. It is our goal to arouse enthusiasm for the topic, to clearly communicate learning goals, to convey important principles and skills, to show translational applications, and to adequately check learning success. It is our aim to keep a good balance between teaching as a "service" for the students and as a mission to ensure and expand scientific, social and economic progress.
