Some good news: I won the 2025 Teaching Award at the University of Cologne's Faculty of Arts & Humanities for my 3D documentation and modelling courses! 🎓 I wrote a blog post reflecting on what this means to me – why good teaching needs time, why practical components are often neglected in academia, and why awards like this matter for making teaching visible.

I use a simple and joyful way to check if my students have read the course #syllabus: I hide the task to post pictures of a specific animal on the course plattform in the syllabus text. This term the course plattform is floading over with foxes.
Besides the didactical dimension of this task, the posts reveal students' creativity and compose a nice thread to turn to when motivation fades.
