MSM Lecturer instructions and guidelines

Please find below important information and instructions regarding your teaching assignment. We would appreciate if you would read it carefully. If you have any questions, please contact the programme administrator or responsible MSM Academic Course Coordinator.

In the MSM Teaching & Grading Guidelines all topics are explained more in detail. All lecturers are expected to be aware of the information provided in these guidelines. 

Peer review at MSM

  • Peer review is an important aspect within academic quality enhancement. In the Netherlands a four-eye-principle is required by the Dutch Higher Education Law for all parts of a course including content of the course, setting and grading examinations. Therefore, for each course within the MSM-MBA and MSM-MM programme an MSM Academic Course Coordinator (ACC) is assigned who is fully responsible for the content and examination of the course.
  • Lecturers are required to meet with the ACC approx. six weeks before the course to discuss and agree upon the course content and examination (components).
  • In order to ensure the consistency and quality of the academic content and rigor of all courses, the ACC will carry out a pre-course and post-course peer review. Courses can only take place based on a positive pre-course peer review. Grades will only be published after a positive post-course peer review.
