The Socratic Method stands in the center of my approach to teaching. I try to engage students in conversation with me or with each others. In a collaborative environment, students are encouraged to ask question, utter objections and express their own ideas, and also to face the potential objections with their own ideas. The aim of this approach is to enable the students to acquire the ability to independently reason and argue about the given subject matter and to come to a better grounded opinion. It is, furthermore, my aim to transmit to student the ability to write papers that meet high scientific standards. As part of this, I try to transmit to student the ability to engage independently and critically with the primary subject matter as well as with the literature in a given field, and to develop argumentatively their own standpoint towards them. In two seminars I explicitly followed the approach of researched-based learning. I aided the students to write a small scientific paper which they presented at a students conference at the end of the semester.
