Preparing your course

Teaching your course in the Astronomy curriculum requires proper preparation. Please find below the platforms and guidelines we have in place for sharing course information and documents with students. Make sure to start well in advance with preparations for teaching your course.

The Prospectus contains an online overview of studies and subjects that can be followed at Leiden University. The Prospectus is a formal and legally binding appendix of the Course and Examination Regulations (OER) and includes all Astronomy bachelor's and master's programmes and courses:

If you can't find what you are looking for in the Prospectus, please contact the Coordinator PR & Education at pr-education@strw.leidenuniv.nl.

Every year around May-June, the Astronomy PR coordinator will send a request to all teachers to check if your course description in the Prospectus is up to date for the upcoming academic year. Please respond to this request before the end of July. Always double-check the description of your course before the start of the academic year. Please be aware that no changes can be made throughout the academic year as the Prospectus is legally binding.

Course descriptions are subject to a fixed template. Administrative elements (timetables, registration information and contact information) are taken care of by the Education Office Astronomy. Other elements need your input as a teacher. These include the admission requirements, course description, course objectives, soft skills, mode of instruction, assessment methods and reading list. Please think about these in advance. Moreover, the course objectives need to match your exam questions and should be set up according to Bloom's taxonomy. Please use the following resources:

Examples of good course descriptions:

If you have any questions about (setting up) the description for your course in the Prospectus, please contact the Coordinator PR & Education at pr-education@strw.leidenuniv.nl.

Brightspace is the online learning environment used at Leiden University. It is used to improve and manage student learning and as a communication platform between student and instructor. Brightspace is the standard online learning tool for sharing course material, for secure registration of grades for homework assignments and for communication with students in line with privacy guidelines. For privacy and copyright reasons, the previously common practice of sharing course materials through a public website is not allowed anymore. Therefore, as a teacher, you have to set up an online learning environment for your course in the Astronomy curriculum. The Education Office Astronomy is available to support you with this.

1. Getting access to Brightspace

First, you need to get access to Brightspace.

2. Getting access to the Brightspace page of your course

Next, check if the page for your course is already available to your in Brightspace. If it is not, please send a message to bachelor@strw.leidenuniv.nl or master@strw.leidenuniv.nl to request access. You may also request access for your teaching assistants or second instructors.

3. Set up the page of your course in Brightspace

On the Brightspace Instructor Support website you can find detailed instructions about setting up and managing the page for your course. For example, you will find information about using assignments, quizzes, groups, discussion forums and announcements. If you have any questions, please contact bachelor@strw.leidenuniv.nl or master@strw.leidenuniv.nl. You may also contact the Brightspace Support Team as described here.

Your course is either a newly introduced course or an existing course that has also been taught in previous years. In the latter case, it is possible to copy the content from last year's page to the new page. If you were the instructor in the previous year as well, you can do this yourself as described here. If you were not involved in the course last year or if you would like help in copying the materials, please send a message to bachelor@strw.leidenuniv.nl or master@strw.leidenuniv.nl. If content is copied from last year, make sure to update the information to the new academic year if necessary.

Please set a relevant start date for the page of your course. In order to do this, go to the Brightspace page and choose Course Tools > Course Admin > Course Offering information. Here you can fill in the start date. The students can only access the course after this date. You can choose to make all content available to the students or to hide parts of it (temporarily). Note that the start date is set by default to August 15 (for semester 1) or January 15 (for semester 2).

Teaching your course

After setting up your academic course according to all guidelines, teaching it to academic students is the next step. Whether you are just starting as a junior staff member or an experienced teacher, we are here to support you and offer resources. Please find below an overview of available training and practical information you need to know when teaching an Astronomy course.

University Teaching Qualification (Basis Kwalificatie Onderwijs, BKO)

Additional resources

Course and examination schedules for the Astronomy programmes are prepared around March-April each year. In this period, you will receive an email from the programme coordinator with the request to provide your preferences, number of sessions, changes or improvements concerning the planning of your course. The latest version of the schedules are always published on the Astronomy student websites:

Course locations are scheduled at the faculty level. Astronomy courses are generally located in classrooms at the Science Campus, including the Huygens Laboratory, Gorlaeus Lecture HallSnellius Building and Van Steenis Building, but can also include more distant locations such as the Lipsius Building and Kamerligh Onnes Building in the center of Leiden.

Locations for lectures, practical classes and examinations are communicated through the course and examination schedules. Always make sure you know where your course is located. If you find a location you don't know yet, make sure to visit the room in advance to get acquainted with the room and its equipment.

Location changes

If a location for your lecture, practical class or examination is rescheduled, you will be contacted by the programme coordinator or faculty planner. Vice versa, if you want to reschedule or cancel a session, always inform the programme coordinator, who will administrate the change and will help you find an alternative room or cancel out the reservation.

The availability of audiovisual equipment varies per classroom. Make sure to visit the room scheduled for your course well in advance to get familiar with the equipment.

  • Learn about audiovisual equipment with our free tutorials for the De Sitterzaal and other classrooms.
  • Wireless microphones for classrooms in the Huygens Laboratory can be picked up at the reception.
  • Every classroom has a phone installed on the lecture desk to contact the AV services if needed.
  • All information about room facilities, technical information etc can be found here. Please note that you have to set up and start the recording/streaming yourself and make this available via Brightspace. Only in rooms with the facility “Mediasite” the lecture will be recorded automatically (instructions and link will be sent a few days in advance).

  • You are requested to briefly respond to the results of the evaluation. Please be brief and factual. Return your comments within a week to the Education Office Astronomy support officer and to the Director of Studies.

Semester response system

  • Four times a year, an oral evaluation of all Astronomy courses takes place.
  • Evaluation sessions are open and plenary and embedded in the course schedules of students.
  • The evaluation sessions are led by the chair of the Astronomy Education Committee, with all teaching staff involved present. Feedback on lectures is provided by the student members of the Education Committee, as well as by other students.
  • First, all current lecture series are evaluated approximately four weeks after the start of a semester. This early evaluation enables timely and effective adjustments, should these be necessary.
  • A second evaluation takes place after the end of each semester, and may lead to recommendations for future improvements.

Bachelor Research Project

Each year starting in February, a cohort of bachelor students will do their Bachelor Research project (BRP) to conclude their Astronomy bachelor's programme. Students following a double bachelor's programme in Astronomy & Physics or Astronomy & Mathematics are subject to different guidelines. Click here for an overview of all details and procedures communicated to students. Please find below all you need to know about the Bachelor Research Project as a supervisor.

  • In September/October of each year, the Bachelor Research Project coordinator (a Leiden Observatory staff member) will ask each staff member to provide at least one project for bachelor students to work on.
  • Students will typically work in pairs, from the beginning of February to the end of June. They should be able to spend at least half of their time on the project.
  • Students doing a double bachelor's programme in Astronomy & Physics have to choose between an Astronomy or Physics project and supervision.
  • Regular meetings with the whole cohort will be organised by the BRP coordinator and appointed assistants to monitor progress, help with practical items, and to provide advice. However, direct supervision of the research is expected from the supervisor. Many postdocs have done an excellent job here in the past.
  • Students MUST have permission from the Astronomy study advisor to start with their  Bachelor Research Project. Usually this means that the practicals are finished and most courses (except for 1-2) have been completed before starting the project in February.
  • In order to start with their BRP, students must complete and hand in the Bachelor Research Project Registration Form (available on the student's website). When supervising a project, the student will ask you to sign the form as well.
  • Students are ONLY allowed to start with the project after you have received a fully signed registration form. Upon receipt of the Bachelor Research Project Registration Form, all those involved will receive a confirmation from the Education Office Astronomy.
  • Halfway the semester a midterm review must take place. The student will contact you to plan a meeting and ask you to assess his/her progress on the basis of the assessment rubric (see the Bachelor Research Project Assessment Form below). For this he/she will send you a midterm review form. After the meeting, the student has to hand in the form via Brightspace.
  • The end date of each project is fixed. Please contact the Bachelor Research Project Coordinator for details.
  • Bachelor Research Projects are concluded with a thesis and a presentation, as described in the procedure for students.
  • The student submits the thesis via Brightspace. As a supervisor, you will receive instructions from the Education Office Astronomy on how to download the thesis from there and on how to conduct a plagiarism check.
  • Use the proper Bachelor Research Project Assessment Form. For students following a double bachelor's programme (Astronomy & Mathematics or Astronomy & Physics) a different form is used (see next section).
  • The grade must be given before the fixed deadline.
  • The assessment form needs to be handed in by the supervisor to the Education Office Astronomy via bachelor@strw.leidenuniv.nl. Please send the form to the student as well.
  • The Bachelor Research Project is evaluated using the online evaluation form available at the student's website.

Master Research Project

Each Astronomy master's student carries out at least one research project during the two year Astronomy master's programme. The First Research Project (30 EC) is of a preparatory nature, resulting in a thesis. This project is done by all students in the research-oriented Astronomy master's specialisations (Research, Cosmology, Data Science and Instrumentation). The Master's Research Project (30 EC) is done by all Astronomy master's students and results in the formal Astronomy master's thesis. In addition, the Master's Research Project will be presented in a formal colloquium.

Click here for an overview of all details and procedures communicated to students. Please find below all you need to know about the Master Research Projects as a supervisor.

  • All projects are carried out under close supervision by a member of the scientific staff.
  • The First Research Project and the Master's Research Project must be of a different nature and must be supervised by different staff members.
  • The Master's Research Project can be started only after the First Research Project is completed.
  • To monitor the progression of Astronomy research projects, student will receive periodic emails at so-called milestones. These milestone notifications occur at the start of the project and at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the allotted duration of the project. The emails contain information about the remaining time until the end date (at 100%).
  • Student and supervisor should monitor progress with this schedule in mind. Regular meetings with your student are important, but make sure you meet up at each notification date. That way, you’ll be in time to notice and any problems and prevent delay.
  • Report problems or delays to the Astronomy study advisor, who will also monitor progress.
  • If the project has not been completed by the final date (100%), a grade will be given based on the available material.
  • All Astronomy Master's Research Projects are concluded with a public presentation, referred to as Student Colloquium.
  •  This presentation will be graded by the Student Colloquium coordinator for presentation skills and not for the scientific content or the way the research was conducted, as these elements are assessed in the Master's Research Project.
  • Each year, three sessions will be planned in the form of an Astronomy master's colloquium conference.
  • Students need to make their own reservation using the online Astronomy Student Colloquium registration form.
  • Students need to practice their talk before they present their colloquium. Make sure to support your student in doing so.
  • The grade will be given by the Student Colloquium coordinator (a Leiden Observatory staff member) and will be sent to you as the supervisor of Master's Research Project.
  • All Astronomy master's research projects conclude with a thesis and the Master's Research Project concludes with an additional colloquium.
  • The end date of each research project is fixed.
  • The supervisor needs to find a second reader for the thesis who is not directly connected to the same research project. Both the supervisor(s) and the second reader have to be approved staff members of Leiden Observatory with examination authority. Click here for the list of approved staff members.
  • The student needs to hand in the final thesis by the end date via Brightspace. As a supervisor, you will receive instructions from the Education Office Astronomy on how to download the thesis from there and on how to conduct a plagiarism check.
  • The grade for the project must be given within 15 working days from the end date. Please note that for graduates other deadlines are set.
  • For assessment and grading, use the Master Research Project Grading Form.
  • The supervisor needs to send the Master Research Project Grading Form to the student and to the Education Office Astronomy (master@strw.leidenuniv.nl).
  • The Master Research Project is evaluated using the online form available at the student's website.

Graduation

The Astronomy programme is set up  to result in an academic bachelor's or master's diploma. For graduation to take place, many arrangements need to be made. Most of this is the responsibility of the student, but as a supervisor of the student's final research project you also have a role to play. Please find below all information relevant to you as a supervisor and teaching staff member of Leiden Observatory.

General

  • The full procedure for the Astronomy bachelor's graduation can be found on the student's website.
  • Please note that there are two relevant dates around graduation: the certification date and the ceremony date:
    • Certification date: the formal exam date, which is stated on the bachelor's certificate that will be handed out during the graduation ceremony.
    • Ceremony date: a fixed date that will take place once a year, usually on the last Friday of August. In 2021, the Astronomy bachelor's ceremony date is 27 August 2021.
  • The Astronomy bachelor's graduation ceremony takes places in the Huygens Laboratory.
  • The ceremony  is led by the chair of the Astronomy Board of Examiners.
  • All graduates and their guests are invited to join the full ceremony.
  • The ceremony starts with an informal part, in which the supervisors of the Bachelor Research Project have role (see next section for guidelines). The formal part is led by the chair of the Board of Examiners.
  • The graduation ceremony will be concluded with drinks for all Astronomy and Physics bachelor graduates, their guests and supervisors.

Guidelines for supervisors

Supervisors of the Bachelor Research Projects are expected to speak a few words about their students. You may talk about:

  • The content and results of the research performed by the student
  • Your impression of the research skills of the student
  • Your impression of the social, communication or teamworking skills of your student
  • Anecdotes (interesting or amusing incidents)

If you are not available to join the ceremony, please send a written speech for your student to the Astronomy Education Office at bachelor@strw.leidenuniv.nl well in advance of the ceremony.

Formal obligations

In the formal part of the ceremony, the Astronomy bachelor's diploma will be handed over to the student accompanied by a small gift from the Education Office Astronomy. All paperwork has been signed beforehand, except for the exam form, which will be signed at the ceremony by the chair of the Board of Examiners and the student.

Quality control

Many procedures and systems are in place to safeguard and maintain the quality of education in the Astronomy programme of Leiden Observatory. Extended evaluation of all our study activities and ongoing professionalization of our teaching staff members are integral parts of our quality system.

All courses in the Astronomy curriculum are evalution afterwards by written evaluation forms. This is part of a central system managed and processed by the Leiden University Graduate School of Teaching (ICLON). In addition, oral semester response sessions are organised by the Astronomy Education Committee four times a year. These sessions allow for timely and effective adjustments during the curriculum and result in recommendations for the future.

Apart from the written and oral course evaluations described above, overall student satisfaction is evaluated annually in the Nationale Studenten Enquête (NSE). The results are discussed in the Astronomy Education Committee and always lead to recommendations.

To guarantee the quality of education in the Astronomy programme, the University Teaching Qualification (Basis Kwalificatie Onderwijs, BKO) is compulsory for all teaching staff members of Leiden Observatory, offered by the Higher Education Development department of Leiden University Graduate School of Teaching (ICLON). In addition, various training programmes for Leiden University staff members are available, ranging from one-hour sessions to courses over multiple days, as well as individual coaching sessions.

The Leiden Observatory staff has monthly lunch meetings. Several times a year one of these meetings is devoted to teaching matters. In addition, the Education Office Astronomy organises a meeting with all the teaching staff twice a year, chaired by the Director of Studies. This way, we keep all teaching staff members fully informed on and involved in developments in the teaching program, and generate feedback by the staff on these issues to the Director of Studies and the Astronomy programme coordinator.

Furthermore, our Astronomy teaching staff is present in the evaluation sessions of the semester response system, led by the Astronomy Education Committee.

Teaching during the Corona pandemic

Please find below the most recent regulations regarding teaching and examination during the Corona pandemic, as well as some tips on how to go about this.

  • A new ZOOM session always has to start from the waiting room. We cannot change this setting because it is needed for safety and AVG-related reasons.
  • At the beginning of the lecture, students can be admitted through the button 'add all', but students entering later will pop-up during the lecture and ask for permission to enter. Also, when somebody has to re-enter, e.g. because of a broken WIFI connection, this could interfere with the lecture. We hope this can be resolved in the future. For now it might be a good idea to appoint a TA as ‘co-host’ of the meeting, so that they can monitor the waiting room and let students in.
  • Coordination from the lecturer is necessary to guarantee that all students can enter and leave the exam rooms in a Corona-proof way. This also means that we actively have to monitor that students follow the Corona safety regulations; e.g. when a person is moving, a face mask is obligatory and at all times they should aim for 1.5m social distancing, also when entering the exam room. Please instruct your TA's well on these aspects.
  • Take care that you have sufficient TA's to be around for surveillance and when you run into issues, please contact the Education Office so that we can organize additional on spot support in time.
  • We try to keep the amount of persons moving during the exam to a minimum. Please take care that the exam questions and sufficient exam writing paper can be distributed in one go at the beginning of the exam. Add some extra writing paper so that there is no need to distribute paper later on. Define a clear point where to hand in the exams, preferably at one spot where the students can leave the room.
  • When you have your exam in different lecture halls, it is recommended that you inform your students in advance (using Brightspace) in which room they are supposed to take their exam. When you need confirmation of the room info, please contact us under bachelor@strw.leidenuniv.nl or master@strw.leidenuniv.nl.
  • In the Sports Center there are different rooms are available. Please clearly indicate on Brightspace which rooms will be used and how to get there/enter. A floor plan is available and will be sent out to those of you examining in the Sports Center.
  • You will need exam writing paper to hand out to the students for their exam. This is available from the Education Office (contact eduassist@strw.leidenuniv.nl) and also boxes have been placed in the ground cabinets in the Kaiser lounge (close to the place where you find the Leiden Observatory envelopes).
  • Online exams are offered only for:
    • Master students who are currently not physically present in the Netherlands. If any of the students taking your exam have applied for this, you will be contacted by the Education Office.
    • Students who cannot participate in on-campus exams because of serious health risks, for themselves or family members at home. These students need to ask approval from the study advisor and Board of Examiners.
  • Students who cannot attend the exam because of COVID-19 related symptoms are not allowed to take the online exam, instead they will participate in the retake exam on campus and are offered an extra re-take if necessary.
  • The online exam will take place at the same time (CET) as the physical exam.
  • The online exam will be proctored, so students need to have their webcam on at all times during the exam. Make sure you have enough TA’s available to carry out the proctoring. One TA can monitor around 5-6 students at the same time. If you need any assistance setting up the proctoring, please contact master@strw.leidenuniv.nl.
  • Students have the right to look into their (corrected) exam documents and to receive a copy of their own answers upon request. They also have the right to see the exam questions and answers (but not to make a copy of the questions and correction model/answers). Normally the corrections and answers are at the Education Office and students just pass by. Under the current conditions this is not an option. A possible solution is to collect all exams by one person (the lecturer or a TA) and to mention on your Brightspace page who to contact to obtain a scanned copy of the corrected exam. In the case this triggers a student to ask for more info, there will be a follow-up by mail. In the case this does not fully address the raised question, a follow-up ZOOM may be necessary. As soon as the situation improves, we will try to re-activate the on-campus protocol.
