Hello all teachers (et al.) of the Biology Degree Programmes, (I writing this in English, so that everybody can understand - I hope).
Attached please find an excel file for you to fill in the preliminary information for your own courses schedule preferences during the study year of 2018-2019 (please use the "SCHEDULE 2018-19" tab for that).
The courses are listed by their Finnish names, and if the same course has 2 codes because it can either be taken during the Bachelor or the Master phase, it is listed only once. If your course is not listed, but you know it will be organized on AY 2018-2019, please add it to the end of the list.
So, this is to plan the full schedules for all of the biology courses organized on the next study year (but the list may include courses that will not be given then - just leave those empty). The course sets are based on the curriculum 2018-2019 (= programme structures and timings according to the accepted plan for 2018-2019 of the biology degree programmes) - see tabs "Bachelors" and "Masters" and "EcoGen" in the excel file.
Please fill in the required* information to the excel sheet and then send the file back to me - as soon as possible. Thank you! Find your own courses in the SCHEDULE 2018-19 tab, and fill in the information about:
· Periods: Mark the actual periods (1-4) on the academic year 2018-2019 of when the course is organized (e.g. 1, 1-2, etc.) - and for courses that are given every second year only check if they are given on the next study year or not.
o The periods can be found at: http://www.oulu.fi/university/studentexchange/academic-calendar
· Lectures, exercises, seminars, etc. = hours of face-to-face teaching: Give the mimimum number (hours) of lectures and exercises, etc., 2h (or 4h) per time should be preferred. It's better to overestimate than to underestimate the required times (cancelling is easier than re-booking). Also note that the renovations around the university may make it harder to find suitable rooms at suitable times. Therefore:
o Try to estimate as real number of expected students participating to the lectures as you can - base this estimation to your previous experience. This is important because changing a room to a smaller / bigger one can be quite hard.
· Exams: Estimate the number of students participating an exam (mark it to the file).
o If less than 20 students are participating to the course's final exam, giving the course in the exam aquarium = the Examinarium should be preferred (or, organizing the exam during the lectures = 2h midterm or final exams).
o If the exam must be more than 2h long, then it should be organized as a university exam / university midterm exam (or as an examinarium exam).
· Also, if there is need for any repeated exams next year for the current year's courses (so called "rästitentti"), also mark that to the file, as well as any other remarks on the courses schedules/requirements.
University exams: Targeted for more than 20 participants (final exams, midterm exams). NB! Prepare to supervise sometimes an university exam, if you want your courses exams to be organized as uni-exams. Examinarium exams: = Aquarium exams. For less than 20 participants. The teacher defines the timing (day, date, etc.) Midterm or final exam as a lecture exam: Can be organized during the reserved lecture times in the reserved rooms if max. 2h is okay for the exam.
* The required information consists of:
· Course Code Name, ECTS cr (to be checked)
· Teachers (mention also if changed if compared to the current academic year) - Responsible teacher (1 person only) - To avoid overlapping schedules for the teachers, others participating to the teaching
· Teaching language Suomi / English Available for exchange students in English (yes / no)?
· Number of students per course (estimation)
· Periods (1,2 / 3,4)
· Contact teaching (lectures, exercises, etc.) Lectures (or seminars, etc.) times + hours/week - Exercises (or field work, etc.) h/week - group size
· Specific room requirements (e.g. for exercises) or other notes
· EXAMS: University exam - Aquarium exam Lecture exam Midterm exam
· Repeat exams: No/Yes (evaluated nro of participants) / as an university exam / aquarium exam / lecture exam. Final exam/midterm exam?
· Notes on other issues affecting the schedule
· Please let me also know if courses are missing from the list.
