Performance appraisal 2015 - and plans for next academic year

Today I met with my Head of Department at University of Stavanger's Department of Social Studies, Svanaug Fjær, for the annual "medarbeidersamtale" (something akin to 'performance appraisal'). The coming academic year I will supervise three bachelor students (bachelor thesis in child welfare). I will also grade a bit more than half of all exam papers (home exam) in Examen philosophical, be course coordinator for bachelor thesis in child welfare, and teach (seminars/group work) in Examen Philosophicum.

Application deadline is February 1st.
