In today's episode we talk about teaching. We start from the practical aspect of teaching loads and the various contracts PhD candidates tend to have (and the role of teaching in these contracts), as well as the various teaching assignments that faculty members can get.

We learn about Sarah's experience and expectations with regard to teaching during her PhD and Eva's various teaching loads over the years.

Eva also shares the main lessons she has learned over the years: to balance teaching and active learning activities, to provide the same idea in different formats, and to understand that every group is different and what works one semester or in one country may not work in a different time or place.

We round off by looking at what we learned from teaching online and what we will take into the classroom.
