10/12/2024 | Was really great

1003/2024 | All in all, I had a lot of fun and I am very grateful for the knowledge I gained and what I was taught. I especially have to praise the practical approach.

09/28/2024 | I extremely enjoyed the seminars and the input, there is something for every aspect and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in IT or simply wants to further their cognitive education

09/27/2024 | Dear Susanne, I would like to thank you very much for the seminar. I really enjoyed it and was able to learn a lot. I particularly liked the idea of creating a portfolio in the form of my own website. It was exciting to put the theory directly into practice and develop my web design skills in the process. I'm looking forward to the upcoming events and other exciting projects.

09/23/2024 | I really enjoyed the IT certificate overall and I feel like I really learned a lot in a subject area that I really didn't know anything about before! Susanne was very structured and friendly and created a really nice course atmosphere - thanks again for that! For me, however, things moved far too quickly in modules 2 and 3 in particular - I think the courses would have benefited from being smaller and there would have been more room for understanding and questions in the course. As it was, everything was a bit hectic and fast and I often felt inundated with new information. This was partly compensated for by peer work, but not really satisfactorily, so that I was often able to do things with the help of the code examples, but didn't really understand them in essence. Overall, however, the two courses 2 and 3 were the most fun and sometimes appealing because of the challenge posed by the pace. Maybe you can find a middle ground. I would definitely recommend the IT certificate, I think it's great that it exists. Best regards and thank you!

09/16/2024 | Thank you very much for the offer to acquire such a certificate. I learned much more than I had imagined beforehand. Keep up the good work!

09/14/2024 | Was great, especially Advanced Web Basics! Many best regards!

09/03/2024 | The seminar offered a deep and varied insight into the world of 2D and 3D digitization of objects. Particularly noteworthy was the comprehensive overview of research data management (RDM), metadata, interfaces and current formats, which are essential for indexing, securing and publishing digital collections. The practical exercises on the installation and administration of CMS and repository software such as Wordpress, Drupal and DSpace were very helpful and provided valuable insights into the use of these tools. I found the discussions about the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, VR and 3D scanning processes in digitalization particularly exciting. The external experts also enriched the seminar. Overall, it was an extremely instructive and inspiring seminar. I would like to thank Suzanne for her excellent organization and inspiring leadership of the seminar. Thanks to her support and dedication, I was able to gain valuable knowledge and practical skills in the field of digitalization. Her expertise and interesting discussions enriched the seminar. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience!!!

09/03/2024 | Ms. Kurz has been one of the best lecturers I have ever had in the 7 years of my studies so far. I can only advise you to continue like this and wish you all the best for the future :)

09/03/2024 | Thank you very much for offering the certificate. It was great fun to attend the courses and work through the content. It was also an enrichment as a business informatics student. There is nothing wrong with any of the courses and they can be continued without any problems.

09/02/2024 | I was interested in and enjoyed all four seminars. Since I completed all four seminars in one semester, I was sometimes overwhelmed in “Tools and Methods”, but luckily I had people I could turn to. I had hoped to get a first insight into the IT world and to do something practical, and that has come true. It would be great if there were follow-up courses to keep me going and learning. Thank you very much for your commitment, see you soon!

09/02/2024 | Very, very good lecturer! Great activation and involvement of the students, which ensured that the knowledge became second nature to me (ergo: no inert knowledge).

09/02/2024 | It was a lot of fun, but sometimes I would have liked a little more time.

08/30/2024 | Dear Susanne, the seminar with you was a lot of fun because of your open and friendly manner! The results files were also very helpful if you didn't understand something exactly. Many thanks and best regards

08/30/2024 | It was very pleasant. The trainer was very helpful

07/12/2024 | I learned a lot, thank you very much. Of course, it would be nice to be able to set different priorities, but I understand that such an offer would be too expensive.

07/11/2024 | 4 great courses in total. I learned a lot and also had a bit of fun. I particularly like the fact that it was possible to do all 4 courses at the same time. It was the only way for me to get the certificate.

07/11/2024 | Very interesting courses. It was challenging to take all 4 at the same time. But also helpful to learn more JS in the Thursday course than in the Tuesday course. :-) And to be able to do more as a result. The excursion was super interesting, as were the two teachers and the guests. Thank you!

2024 | A BIG THANK YOU for the last two semesters! Your seminars are mega! Super interesting, you and your subject matter are very easy to follow and it's incredible how much you learn in just eight months! Thanks to you, I can now easily do HTML, CSS and JS, and not because I attended an expensive full-time course, but more or less on the side, as a supplement to my studies. I hope for all future students that you continue to do this for a long time :-)

2024 | I also wanted to say that I really enjoyed the seminar. Since it's the last seminar, I put in extra effort with this project - maybe even a little too much time :'). Thank you so much for introducing us to the programming world in such a fun, yet extremely educational way. It was really fun to learn from you! Thanks to your support, I have now even found a job that combines my degree program with IT. :)

03/31/2024 | I really enjoyed the seminar and think it should be continued.

All the content was explained very well and taught how it can be implemented.

03/27/2024 | The content of the IT certificate seminars was very easy to follow for someone who was not familiar with it before. The courses built on each other and supported each other, so that at the end you have a solid basic knowledge. It was optimal and instructive for me.

03/23/2024 | Dear Susanne,

It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot too. Thank you very much!

03/20/2024 | Very great seminars! Really looking forward to next semester!

03/15/2024 | Both seminars were really very informative! Both Susanne Kurz and Laura Berg are great lecturers who make learning a lot of fun and incredibly rewarding.

03/14/2024 | I found the courses all very informative, they dealt well with advanced and interesting/relevant topics that might not normally have come up (during my studies). As a media informatics student, I have to say that I enjoyed programming the projects more than, for example, writing the portfolio.

Especially for non-computer science students, I think that the IT certificate is a great way to further your education and to spread the practices of the DH in general.

03/13/2024 | Super great seminars! I learned an incredible amount from virtually nothing. The courses were very refreshing, especially because of the strong practical relevance. The speakers from the last course also showed how much there is behind the field of research and what is currently happening.

03/13/2024 | Thank you very much for the great seminars - please keep it up! :)

03/12/2024 | Both seminars were extremely informative and fun. There is nothing I could find fault with. Everything was great :)

03/12/2024 | Super "hands-on" approach, learned a lot. Great course leader, creates a pleasant learning atmosphere.

Learning curve flattened out a bit towards the end of the seminar, but that was more due to the fact that it went into more detail and became more difficult.

03/11/2024 | The seminars were well structured and fun!

03/06/2024 | Seminar fulfilled its teaching mission well.

I wanted to let you know that none of the courses I have taken or seen online have been anywhere near as much fun as yours. You also explain things very clearly and are a pleasure to listen to

So I just wanted to thank you for the really cool seminar this semester! It was great fun, I learned a lot (and so quickly!) and I really took something away with me. I'm sure we'll see each other again next semester.

09/29/2023 | Very good planning and implementation of the seminar; IT topics were explained in a tangible and very accessible way, even for beginners in this subject area; the lecturer was available to answer questions - overall a great seminar.

09/25/2023 | Super Seminar!

09/16/2023 | Great seminar, had fun!

09/14/2023 | Apart from the fact that the events were always a lot of fun, especially in the courses "Advanced Web Basics" and "Digital Objects" you literally have your hands full and can never work alone on your own projects despite all the freedom. This works for people with no previous knowledge, but even if you think you already know a bit about the subject, you can still learn a lot, especially together with others on site. That's quite nice after all.

09/13/2023 | The seminar was not only a lot of fun, but also taught me a lot of new things in the field of editing. I was able to take away a lot from the course and liked the fact that we worked very practically. Sometimes I had problems following the pace of the course, but afterwards I could always understand everything and there was always enough time and space for questions. All in all, a very interesting and intensive seminar, perfectly suited as an introduction to editing websites.

09/13/2023 | Was fun :) The content was explained in a very understandable way, the exercises were useful and the code examples from the seminar were very helpful.

09/13/2023 | Thanks a lot for the great, practical and productive seminars! Without prior knowledge I learned a lot in a short time.

09/13/2023 | The course content was communicated clearly and understandably, which made learning particularly effective. I also found the exercises and projects very helpful in applying what I learned. The group dynamic was very positive, all participants were motivated and helpful. This made learning an enjoyable experience. Thank you!!!

09/13/2023 | Dear Susanne, your seminars were a lot of fun and gave me a good feeling to be able to finish my studies with additional qualification. Thank you for everything.

09/12/2023 | I totally enjoyed the courses for the IT certificate. I started completely from scratch, so it was always challenging, but in the end it was totally worth it for me. It's a great way to gain knowledge that you wouldn't get in your actual field of study.

09/08/2023 | The courses Web Basics and also Digital Objects were fun! I learned a lot of new things! Highly recommended... It's especially cool to work on your 'first' own webpage in the Web Basic course!!! So, a nice goal to pursue during the semester! Oh, and without any prior knowledge, don't be put off by the 1st hour.... (there I understood 0)

09/07/2023 | Dear Susanne, I would like to tell you that I enjoyed the Advanced Web Basics course extremely much!!! :) I had no experience in programming before, but was able to build up great interest in it in your course and learn a lot, which I really enjoyed! From an organization standpoint, I thought the course was designed great: all the assignments were designed in such a way that you could master them even with little to no prior knowledge and "only" based on the skills learned in the course. Your pace of conveying the information was brisk, but in such a way that it was still very easy to follow along. In addition, you were very considerate and attentive in noticing if other people did not understand something directly. I had the impression that you really care about passing on your knowledge, especially so that all students also get great pleasure from programming. Best regards and thank you for the great semester!!!

09/01/2023 | Very great courses, I especially enjoyed the IT and Web Basics. I couldn't imagine much under the other two at first and don't yet have a need for application for the knowledge acquired there, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was very interesting after all, especially the lessons on lot books, 3D archaeoinformatics and computational linguistics in the last semester. The course atmosphere with Susanne Kurz was always terrific; it was a lot of fun!

08/16/2023 | It was a really enjoyable set of courses, ideal for those like me who never attended computer science classes in their academic career. Both Laura and Susanne are very clear in explaining the contents of the courses. I particularly enjoyed Web Basics and Tools & Methods as they were more practical and I had the chance to really "learn by doing", as it is typical in this discipline. Susanne was sometimes fast, but she was always ready to stop and help people fix errors or catch up if they didn't understand. Last but not least, the friendly smiles on the lecturers' faces during the classes created a relaxed atmosphere: it was a great environment where to learn. Thanks!

08/07/2023 | I could learn quite a few things. The lecturer Laura taught with motivation and competence. Even though the number of participants was high, it felt like almost being in a seminar. Thank you!

08/07/2023 | Very informative seminar to close existing IT general knowledge gaps.

08/07/2023 | Exciting and informative

07/11/2023 | The seminar was very appealing and understandably structured, so that even as a complete beginner who has never written a line of code before, I was able to follow along very well. The instructor was likeable and made the course enthusiastic about the subject matter. The only criticism would be the sessions on JavaScript: The pace was sometimes a bit too fast, given the complexity of the programming language.

| Otherwise, I wanted to thank you again for the course. Even though I rather always took a seat in the back rows and didn't give much of myself, the course was great fun and I was a kind of "silent enjoyer". With w3schools I was also able to get to know many interesting extensions, some of which were also used in my final project. Therefore many thanks!

| Thank you for your constant commitment and the great seminars!

| Thank you for the great course! I learned a lot, especially because it was always fun. You always made the content very accessible. :) And I feel like I now have a solid foundation to build on. I plan to actually put the website online. With which service, I don't know yet. Probably first about the free offer of the W3-Schools.

04/25/2023 |The course was very good, I would not have thought it possible to learn so many new things in such a short time.

04/18/2023 |I especially enjoyed the Digital Objects event insanely. You got to know the people in the seminar better, exchanged ideas, made acquaintances and friends.
There was enough time to study for exams, the website and the portfolio. I got to know so many new things, I am very happy about that.

04/17/2023 | I enjoyed the seminar very much and I would not have thought that I could learn so many new things in such a short time. Ms. Kurz made the seminar very varied and exciting and encouraged us to try new things and be creative.

04/12/2023 | I really liked the Advanced IT Basics seminar! I had little knowledge or previous experience in the IT field and I have the feeling that I got a great overview through the seminar and was able to acquire a lot of new knowledge, which was conveyed by the lecturer Laura Pascale Berg interesting and compact.

04/05/2023 | Was fun. The instructor was always available to answer questions. Great seminar.

03/28/2023 | Dear Susanne,
Your classes were not only educational for me, they were also a lot of fun! You were always eager to help, made the courses interactive and exciting, and always had an open ear for all questions and concerns of the students*. Thank you!
Dear Laura,
Whether as a lecturer or as a fellow student, you were always able to convince me with your friendly and humorous manner and I learned a lot from you. Thank you!

03/28/2023 | I enjoyed the IT certificate very much. I was able to expand my existing knowledge and acquire new knowledge and skills. Ms. Kurz is an incredibly dedicated and competent teacher.
Many thanks

03/28/2023 | The four modules of the certificate touch upon a wide range of interesting topics and give you a comprehensive view of the basics in Information Technology, Web Development and Digital Humanities.
There was always a fun, collaborative and relaxed atmosphere in the classroom, which made learning even more enjoyable!
Don't worry if you are starting from scratch, because you will be tutored and supported step by step.

03/22/2023 | The seminar was very interesting and useful. I would like to continue my introduction to website development at the next seminar with Ms. Kurz.

03/17/2023 | Thank you for the great seminars! I learned a lot and now feel much more confident in using my laptop.

03/08/2023 | Overall, I enjoyed the seminar very much! At times I was a bit overwhelmed with the many new impressions and information, since I had no previous experience in programming. The pace was a bit fast in between, yet you explained everything very understandably and were always on hand when help was needed. I was able to take away a lot for myself, as I would never have thought that I could program a website myself. I like the idea of the milestones and the peer groups because you could see your progress and get feedback. Overall, I am very glad to have taken this course and will definitely use one or two things from it in the future. It was obvious that you have a lot going for you and know your programming. Thank you very much for that! :-)

02/22/2023 | Very informative and well prepared!

02/15/2023 | At this point I would like to leave a big praise: The IT certificate has already been very useful to me in several applications as well as practically in my job and has given me advantages. It is a great and valuable program!

02/01/2023 | I liked it very, very much!
Especially many thanks for Susanne for the great design of the seminars. :) I especially liked the partner work and the milestones!
Thanks again, the seminar has contributed significantly to the fact that I had an inspiring, exciting and well-structured semester!

01/28/2023 | Susanne Kurz is a super lecturer who is very responsive to the students and their comments and questions in the course and who is very patient and above all enthusiastic! The seminar with her was a lot of fun and in my opinion had a good and appropriate pace from the structure and content.

01/15/2023 | A well-structured seminar with helpful content as well as very pleasant delivery of this content. I would attend it again at any time.

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

09/28/22 | Very good! It was really fun.

09/24/22 | I learned a lot in the seminars and was also motivated to continue dealing with the topics beyond the seminar content.

09/19/22 | In general, the courses were very informative and interesting.

09/19/22 | I found all seminars very good and would definitely recommend them to others. The organization was great and the teachers were understanding.

08/26/22 | Enjoyed super well

08/23/22 | super!

04/06/22 | Was fun!

04/01/22 | The seminars were very interesting and practical. I can only recommend them (and have already done so).

04/01/22 | I took all the seminars in one semester and was not sure at the beginning if I could really do it. Now I have to say it was the best decision. The block seminars were very well prepared and it was always interesting.

04/01/22 | Through the seminar I was able to learn the very good basics of creating a website and apply them practically. Despite the Corona pandemic, the online event was well implemented. The milestones are good, so you are motivated to follow the lecture content instead of a one-time delivery.31.03.2022 | It was great, even the 3x online and the rest with portfolio and videos. This was ideal for me, since I live in Mönchengladbach. Content-wise I came along well and found the topics exciting.

03/31/22 | Was great :)

03/31/22 | Great seminar! I really learned a lot. Great that it was based on videos.

03/22/22 | Thank you very much for the seminars, which were very easy to understand even for people not familiar with the subject!

03/17/22 | All seminars have helped me personally. A special benefit were the courses of Susanne Kurz. These are to be recommended. Thank you very much!

02/23/22 | I took the IT certificate at the University of Cologne in 2019 and 2020 and am now studying the Master Cultural Data Studies in Marburg. In the process, I noticed how enormously the certificate and especially the courses I took with you help me keep up as a formerly pure humanities student (BA Art History and Theology) in an interdisciplinary Digital Humanities Master.
Without your enthusiasm and teaching of the basic IT skills, I would never have had the skills on the one hand, and the confidence on the other hand, to even start this Master.
However, as it is, I am still enthusiastic about the DH field and am able to learn more and more based on the knowledge gained from the certificate courses. I often tell my fellow students that I have this opportunity at the University of Cologne and how grateful I am for it, so I thought you should hear it too:
Thank you very, very much. You have helped me a lot.

02/22/22 | I would like to thank you for this interesting time, in which I could learn a lot. I have now completed all four courses and found each one very good!

02/21/22 | The course was a great experience for me, which will definitely stay with me. I enjoyed both courses very much because of your refreshing manner. Thank you very much and all the best.

02/04/2022 | I chose three of the four seminars to be taken as block seminars and I am very pleased with the design. Although they were block seminars, the sessions were designed in such a way that everyone could follow the content and could always ask questions if anything was unclear. Here again many thanks to the lecturers.
The seminar Digital Objects actually took place in presence. I was able to arrange it so that I could always be present on site. This was better for the group work and the general exchange. Unfortunately, not all course members were able to be on site. The last Zoom sessions (due to the current situation) were very well designed by Ms. Kurz. The videos were very helpful and easy to understand.
I recommend this module to anyone who wants to learn basic IT skills.

02/03/22 | I enjoyed all four courses very much and I find that the online format worked without any problems. Thank you very much!

01/31/22 | I really enjoyed both courses! I would take them again anytime and recommend them to others.

01/21/22 | Very exciting! Partly also very tight in terms of content

01/03/22 | I liked the courses very much. On the one hand, it was interesting in terms of content, but above all, I found the interaction between course instructor and students very pleasant.

09/09/21 | Learned a lot of new things! Unfortunately, the large amount of topics only allows a very general introduction.

09/05/21 | Very understandably explained, so that I could learn a lot in a short time without prior knowledge!

09/02/21 | Thank you very much for the different seminars of the IT certificate for teachers and your patience!

08/12/21 | The seminars were great!

08/01/21 | Very nice and informative seminar!

07/30/21 | Took all four courses online during the pandemic. Communication with the lecturers was excellent, communication with fellow students was not. Content was well taught and very real and relevant due to the references to practice (especially Tool&Methods WP + Digital Objects) Will recommend it further, thank you.

07/22/21 | Basically I enjoyed attending both seminars and learned a lot. A good start for all without previous knowledge. For my feeling you are welcome to add more seminars to your offer. I would gladly attend more in-depth courses at any time. :)

07/15/21 | One of the few seminars in which I find online instruction very useful and would like to have it for the next semester as well.

07/19/21 | I really enjoyed the seminar with you and I really wanted to tell you that. For someone who got in there without any prior knowledge, I was able to come along very well and learned a lot with you and I really didn't think that was possible. Unfortunately, I will probably be changing universities next semester, so I won't be able to take the advanced course, but if I do stay at the University of Cologne, I will definitely sign up. Thank you very much for the great semester with you!

03/15/21 | It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot.

03/17/21 | Thank you for the great seminars, which have significantly increased my interest in IT!

03/17/21 | Thank you very much for the successful event, both in terms of content and pedagogy. It is unfortunate that something like this is discontinued.

03/21/21 | These courses not only taught me a lot that I can put to good use in my professional life, but they were also a lot of fun. Thank you for offering this!

03/22/21 | The seminars were all fun and well balanced in difficulty as well. Even the forced digital semesters did not detract from the seminars. The lecturers were all friendly, competent and helpful.

03/23/21 | Very nice and competent lecturers, great that there are also guest lectures on various topics. Personally, I would have preferred to focus more on CMS systems instead of digital collections, as this is more in line with my professional interests.

03/28/21 | The seminars were very enriching and have brought me further in some aspects, opened me a very wide new subject area. I have already sent a detailed feedback to Mrs. Kurz.
One more idea that came to me.21 | Offering another seminar on "problem solving" would be super. (E.g. on the questions: What do I do if my PC.... crashes/no longer starts/ gives the error message xyz/ ....)

03/30/21 | I found the seminars very intensive and instructive! Sometimes a bit fast from the pace.

03/31/21 | Thank you very much for the great offer. The contents of the seminars were sometimes complex, but were very well didactic by the lecturers.
I hope that this offer can be continued - also despite the uncertain funding situation - and that other students can also benefit from this offer.

04/03/21 | Thank you very much for this interesting offer! I really have the impression that I have learned a lot and that I now know my way around websites and computers a bit better. The courses built on each other very nicely; it was easy to apply the contents of the courses to the other courses.

04/06/21 | All courses were a lot of fun, I learned a lot of new things and would definitely recommend all courses to others.

04/13/21 | I liked it very much.

04/14/21 | Once again, I would like to thank you for the instructive and enjoyable seminar program. I am looking forward to taking new skills with me into my traineeship and, if applicable, to obtaining further professional opportunities through the certificate and attestations. Thank you very much!
PS: Please write on the envelope that it should not be bent. The letter carrier likes to do that otherwise. Thank you! :)

11.03.21 | Many thanks for these great and helpful seminars - they will certainly help me in the future.

10.04.21 | Good seminars, unfortunately only available at the end of my studies.

13.04.21 | Thank you very much for this opportunity. I got a lot of contact with different tools and programs through the seminars, which practically enrich my teaching.

13.04.21 | I liked it very much.

26.04.21 | Everything top!
Short info: I did the first two seminars in the bachelor and the last two last semester in the first master semester. Mrs. Kurz knows about it.

28.04.21 | The seminars were really good. I got a lot out of the seminars and it is a pity that they are not continued as IT Zertifikat Lehramt.

29.04.21 | Please write on the letter that it should not be bent. Unfortunately the certificate arrived totally banged up. :( Many thanks in advance!

30.04.21 | For me as a teacher the seminar was a great experience. Not only did I learn many new things, but also the personal experience of participating in a seminar with student teachers at the University of Cologne was enriching.
I have successfully completed all four modules and hope to have ticked the right box above.

30.04.21 | The seminars helped me a lot to find my way better in the "IT world". It was an enrichment and I think it is really bad - especially nowadays - that the seminars cannot be offered in this form in relation to teacher training.

24.06.21 | This seminar was really a positive experience. I was able to learn a lot and the work on my own website gave me great pleasure. I would like to emphasize especially positively that the seminar contents were uploaded in the form of retrievable videos. This gave each student the opportunity to understand and learn the content at an individual pace. If I didn't understand something, I could simply pause the video or rewind it by a few seconds to better comprehend what was said/shown. This is the big advantage over a live seminar/webinar.

04/16/21 | "Looking forward to the data protection workshop. Too bad there are only 3 workshops. :) "
"Thank you for the workshop and the good orga!"
"Many, many thanks. It was very exciting!"

06.04.21 | In addition, I just wanted to thank you again "personally". Looking back, this is of course always easier said, but the course really made me want more :) !

03.04.21 | Thank you very much for the two courses. What I learned in your seminar will definitely be useful for my future job.

11.03.21 | Thank you very much for these great and helpful seminars - they will definitely help me in the future. :)

08.03.21 | Thank you very much for your great engagement in the course, I learned a lot of new things, which seemed rather dry and boring to me at the beginning, but which are very essential for the future and the sustainability of knowledge.

05.03.21 | Learned a lot! If it was a little less specialized (in parts) I would recommend this to every student (maybe even at the beginning of my studies).

25.02.21 | I would like to thank you for both seminars, which I found very enriching. I especially enjoyed all the practice in the Tools and Method course. I was very happy to have chosen the certificate during the Corona time, because it was possible to work well despite the home office.

21.02.21 | I would like to give a feedback about the IT certificate and combine it with a thank you for the exciting semester. I wrote my master thesis this semester and meanwhile took the 4 IT courses. Looking back, it was a busy and work-intensive semester. Nevertheless, I am very glad to have taken the IT courses, because they helped me not to become a complete "subject idiot" this semester and bury myself exclusively in books. Basically, the 4 IT courses gave me an insight into a world that was mostly foreign to me and sparked my interest in IT topics.

I know from a fellow student who also took the 2nd course this semester that she is even considering changing majors and going in the direction of IT because of the IT certificate.

What was very positive each session was your engagement and good humor - that carried over frequently! (Since I only joined the course for the second session on 11/11, I also remembered the digital disguise as a first, humorous impression).

11/19/20 | Other than that, I'd like to say thanks already, I learned really cool new tools and am already using the LinkedIn page (actually didn't know we had access to it before).

08.09.20 | At this point I would also like to thank you for the great events. I have taken away some new things that I will certainly apply in other contexts. Despite the corona-related restrictions, you have prepared and conveyed the content very well. I only find it a pity that we could not print anything with the 3D printer. ;)

07.09.20 | The IT certificate is a great thing and I wish you and your team for the future continued success and enjoyment with this program! I am very happy to have had this learning opportunity and proud of the challenges I have overcome in the project work.

01.09.20 | Thank you :-) I am looking forward to the next IT Certificate courses!!!

04/30/21 | The seminars have helped me a lot to find my way better in the "IT world". It was an enrichment and I find it really bad - especially in this day and age - that the seminars can no longer be offered in this form in relation to teacher training.

04/30/21 | For me as a teacher the seminar was a great experience. Not only did I learn many new things, but also the personal experience of participating in a seminar with student teachers at the University of Cologne was enriching.
I have successfully completed all four modules and hope to have ticked the right box above.

04/29/21 | Please write on the letter that it should not be bent. Unfortunately the certificate arrived totally banged up. :( Many thanks in advance!

04/28/21 | The seminars were really good. I have taken a lot from the seminars and find it a pity that they are not continued as IT Zertifikat Lehramt.

04/26/21 | Everything top!
Short info: I did the first two seminars in the bachelor and the last two last semester in the first master semester. Ms. Kurz knows about it.

04/13/21 | I liked it very much.

04/13/21 | Thank you very much for this opportunity. I got a lot of contact with different tools and programs through the seminars, which practically enrich my teaching.

04/20/21 | Good seminars, unfortunately only available at the end of my studies.

03/11/21 | Thank you very much for these great and helpful seminars - they will certainly help me in the future.

08/25/20 | it was totally fun to take all the certificate courses!

05/12/20 | I would like to thank you very much for the informative and fun DOP course! And of course for all the other courses within the IT certificate. I think it's great that the Institute for Digital Humanities has made it possible for me (and others) to acquire this knowledge as part of my studies at the university.

04/27/20 | As a general feedback, I am happy to share that I found these courses to be really great. The straightforward personal communication with you and the other instructors cleared a big first hurdle. The courses themselves showed me that I have a great enthusiasm for IT and programming even without any special technical knowledge, which surprised and pleased me personally. I also found their fast and flexible approach to the current situation very successful, I found the courses online very good and I would wish if the university could offer more such offers regardless of health crises. This would certainly have allowed me, as a student with a child in my previous studies, to attend a few more seminars that were inconvenient for childcare times. So thank you again!

03/13/20 | I really enjoyed the IT classes and I am very grateful that there is this opportunity at the university to get involved with a completely different subject matter. Thank you very much for this chance!

03/03/20 I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you again for your time in your DOP IT class last semester. Your joyful way of teaching made it easier to learn, I always enjoyed coming to the course (which I also often heard from my fellow students) and you awakened a passion for IT in some of them. Thank you very much!

01/20/20 | The IT courses have already landed me a job: I've been working in IT project management at an Internet agency for a few months now. I owe that to you! With your cheerful and appreciative manner, you have awakened and encouraged my enthusiasm for IT. You explain even more complex content in such a way that one understands it and never feels too stupid for anything. You awaken the curiosity to see connections and to develop a better understanding of the digital world, which one has to deal with every day. So I would like to thank you: the courses were a lot of fun and enriched me professionally and personally.

09/17/19 | Thank you very much, Mr. Kiss, I must say, your course last week has created an unexpected pressing desire in me to understand IT contexts better , to know more, even if I have not grown up with it. Thank you for letting me continue to share in your knowledge!

07/05/19 | Carsten Wilms, WDR 5 Wave Line: "Dear Ms. Kurz,
for six years now, you have been supporting the WDR 5 digital editorial team in the search for student assistants. I would like to express my gratitude for this.
The students who work in our editorial department as a result of your placement are all distinguished by special skills: They are very adept at using audio, video and image editing programs and our content management system. And they are very confident and creative in their use of language. With their strong affinity for technological issues, the students provide valuable supply work for our editorial activities on the web and social media.
I am convinced that your highly practice-oriented courses for the acquisition of the IT certificate of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Cologne in particular provide the students working for us with special qualifications.
I would be happy to approach you again in the future as soon as we have a need for student assistants again."

"I would like to thank you very much for the great seminar and in general for offering the IT certificate course. I must say that it was a bit stressful and difficult for me to take the four certificate courses in addition to my work and master's final exams. However, I think it was very much due to your teaching and facilitation skills that I managed to pass both the exams and the projects. Thank you very much for that!"

"I would like to thank you very much for the exciting, very instructive and practice-oriented Web Basics course with you. The long journey from Münster was very worthwhile for me, I was able to take away a lot of new knowledge."

" I would like to thank you very much for all the exciting sessions. Personally, the event really helped me a lot and I feel very happy and fortunate! Thank you very much!"

"Extraordinary is the work and commitment that you and your team put into this offer. Because for me it is clear today: the economy needs us humanities graduates! Today more than ever!"

"Thank you again for leading the course: it's nice to have a lecturer who brings it all across in a relaxed and easy-going way ."

"Thank you for the great seminars! It was a lot of fun."

"The IT certificate has been incredibly fun for me in all of this. The AHA experiences were the biggest thing - and of course your enthusiasm! I never once experienced you being annoyed. I really wish I could enjoy my job as much as you do someday."

"Also, I wanted to thank you for your great classes! I really enjoyed learning something new from you every week. Not only because of the content, but because you are an instructor who can also transfer her drive and joy to her audience. You always explain things in such a way that connections become clear and stay in your mind."

"Overall, everything has developed very positively for me (with a mere archaeology degree, things would probably be different) and that's where your courses were a very good starting point. In the meantime, I have been employed at the Herzog August Library in Wolfenbüttel for a year, and have recently also been responsible for the technical implementation of a digital edition. Here there are great opportunities for networking and quite free design of my work, in the winter I was for example to the DHd in Bern, also as a speaker at a workshop with. ... Many thanks for that!"

"Thank you very much for the interesting and varied course. It was really fun and I also feel like I understood some things that probably would have remained a mystery to me without your "we'll start simple" explanations :-)"

"The courses in the IT certificate are challenging. There is a lot of hands-on work and you get beyond the normal applications with your own computer pretty soon. The nice thing is: you learn a lot and the vast majority is directly implementable. I feel that taking the four courses has taught me a lot that can be very useful in very different career fields."

"I now work as an online editor and can very often fall back on the knowledge I learned through you. The course was great fun and made me interested in more technology and more knowledge. Thank you for that."

"Humanities graduates have long since stopped working in dusty libraries - even during my studies I was able to successfully use the knowledge I was able to acquire during the IT certificate; and my future employers will certainly appreciate it."

"It's like learning a new language: suddenly whole new worlds open up."

"Thank you for the great seminars! It was a lot of fun."
