How to make transversal competencies concrete in your teaching

Share
24 March 2026
You finish your course with mixed feelings. The content was solid, the lectures ran smoothly, the exams have been graded. And yet something lingers.

You wish your students analyzed more sharply, presented more clearly, structured their arguments better. But what do you actually mean by that? And more importantly: where and how does that happen in your course?

Maxim Tomoszek, lecturer in constitutional law & trainer within the Aurora network, and Kees Kouwenaar, LOUIS advisor & course coordinator within the same network, share how you can make these skills concrete in your course.

Read the full interview.

For those who want to move beyond good intentions, there is the Blended Intensive Programme on LOUIS, taking place from 1 to 5 June 2026. Here, you work with your own course: where do transversal competencies already appear, where can they grow, and what does that mean for your learning goals and assessment?

As Kouwenaar puts it: “You start with looking more closely at what you are already doing. And from there, you build on it consciously.”
