Activity 3
I told the students about the best German universities. Where they are located geographically and what sets them apart. We also talked about factors that make universities popular and important. But also, which cities they would fit into if they wanted to study in Germany in the future. By means of a quiz. Create a ranking with the most important things for you that a university should have. Ranking 1-10 (1= very important, 10= not so important)Do you already have an idea what you want to do after graduation?Abroad, travel, master, work…. Do you have a dream job?Why? What fascinates you about it?
What worked well in this class? What did not work (and how could it be improved)?
The students have requested this topic and have shown great interest in talking about it. So little had to come from my side, because the motivation in this hour was very high. It was interesting to see which factors are important for the students at a university. I would change very little here. Time was a bit short at the end and we did not get through all the questions, as some questions were discussed for longer. You could shorten the hour depending on the class size.
