Method Courses = 0.3 CP/ Day

Various method courses provide you with a deeper insight into methods and theories related to your thesis.

The method courses should be performed whenever it is required during the PhD. Courses do not have to be taken 10 days in a row, but can be split into smaller units of different courses.

The following types of method courses are allowed:

• courses offered by other working groups
• courses offered by other PhD students
• courses or workshops offered by an external organisation (e.g. EMBO, FELASA, VIBes)
• visits to other labs to establish or learn a new technique related to your PhD (max. 3 CP for each visit)
• supervision of a method course (1:1 methods courses or multiple participant courses) *

If you don't receive a certificate the participation in method courses must be documented with the method course attendance form and signed by the organiser.

* The course must be announced in the RIGeL Members Area. If the course has more than 4 participants and is officially announced in the RIGeL Members Area, you can earn credit points as a teaching assistant (1 day = 0.3 CP).

Teaching Assistance = 0.3 CP/ Day

Active supervision of student courses (basic courses, method courses with more than 4 participants, ”Schülerlabor”, ”Schulbesuch”, excursions) and the individual supervision of students in the lab.

The active supervision of at least one student course is required. This rule (February 2012) applies to all PhD students of RIGeL, regardless of when they began their PhD.

Examples | Teaching Assistance

The Teaching Assistance must be documented with the teaching assistance form and signed by the PhD supervisor's signature.

 

Please have in mind that for the supervision of students in the lab exists the following calculation:

Calculation of CPs for individual supervision of students in the lab:
Diplomathesis (9 month)	1	CP
Masterthesis (9 month)	1	CP
Doctoral thesis in Medicine	1	CP
Bachelorthesis (3 month)	0.5	CP
Zulassungsarbeit LA (alte LPO; 9 month)	1	CP
Zulassungsarbeit LA (neue LPO; 2 month)	0.5	CP
Practical (Bachelor, Master; 8 weeks)	0.4	CP
Practical (Bachelor, Master; 6 weeks)	0.3	CP
Practical (Bachelor, Master; 4 weeks)	0.2	CP
Practical (Bachelor, Master; 3 weeks)	0.15	CP
