My students

 

Research on teaching and learning has highlighted the importance of knowing your students as well as possible: their background knowledge, their level of interest in the subject and their study habits. The planning of a course begins by knowing to whom you are addressing the content and the activities of your teaching.The “my students” section of this website:

  • introduces the student body at EPFL and highlights how you can find out more about the students in your classes.

  • offers information on how to engage your students.

  • highlights where to go for support, if you identify students in difficulty.

  • links to the regulations for study for Bachelor and Master students as well as for Doctoral Assistants.
