Teaching

Seminars:

Since September 2013 I have been teaching seminars and marking assignments (essays, literature reviews, multiple choice quizzes, group presentations, posters) within the International Business & Strategy Group at Kent Business School at The University of Kent. I taught the following seminars:

  • Global Business Environment (Stage 1) in 2014/15, 2015/16 & 2016/17
  • Introduction to Management (Stage 1) in 2013/14, 2016/17 & 2017/18
  • Corporate Business & Strategy (Stage 3) in 2015/16, 2016/17 &2017/18

Furthermore, since 2017/18 I am also the primary online tutor for a variety of modules for the newly introduced Higher Degree Apprenticeship scheme at Kent Business School.

I was nominated for a Kent Union Teaching Award in 2016 by my students. Here is some student feedback from the module evaluation over the years:

  • “My seminar leader Juliane Thieme was great. Enthusiastic and helpful.”
  • “Julienne Thieme  [sic] is the reason I carried on with this course to be quite honest, she supported me, and is so attentive and caring in seminars, she helped me get my head around full time work and almost full time studying … Julienne deserves an award for her teaching.”
  • “Juliane Thieme … she was wonderful! She made the seminars very interesting, encouraged participation, and created an environment where everyone felt very comfortable and able to ask questions.”
  • “My Seminar Leader was Julianne Thieme [sic]. I found that she was very enthusiastic, competent, and made me want to learn about the subject.
