Matrix for the evaluation of teaching skills in the Faculty of Medicine The purpose of this matrix is to determine clear and transparent assessment criteria. The matrix should support the evaluation of teaching skills. The matrix aids in the comparison of the teaching qualifications of various applicants for teaching positions and the assessment of the teaching qualifications of prospective docents.
