Process

  • FlexNow: Seminars must be created for each semester (decentral exams), a seminar paper and presentation are mandatory
  • Grading: the secretary registers students for the seminar, enters grades, and submits them online.

1. Announce the seminar (4 months before)

Start: December (summer term), May (winter term)

  • Professor: Announce seminar on the website for the next semester (without dates/rooms).
  • Secretary: Create the course in FlexNow.
  • Secretary: Update information in UnivIS (add keywords „WI-Seminar“ and „WI-Seminare“), check information on the website.
  • Note: If the course is mentioned on the website, it should automatically be announced in the Fachschaft WIAI newsletter

Deadline: mid-May (summer term), December/January (winter term)

2. Prepare the seminar (1 month before)

Start: March (summer term), September (winter term)

  • Secretary and Professor: Set dates and request lecture rooms.
  • IT department: Create the VC course, two weeks before the semester starts (automatically based on UnivIS).
  • Professor: Create a reminder for the evaluations.

Deadline: April (summer term), October (winter term)

3. Offer the seminar

Start: April (summer term), October (winter term)

  • Professor: Schedule evaluations in the pen-ultimate week (30.21.evaluations).
  • Professor (Secretary): Prepare the exams (Deadline: day of the exam), information is typically provided one month before the semester ends (E-Mail: “Prüferbestellung”). Check whether points add up, whether the number of points per task is consistent with the grading expectations - e.g., “list two examples” should correspond to 2 or 4 points. (TODO: where to store the exam). Review the exam for typos. Print it and prepare the exam materials. Add the date of the exam to the calendar and prepare to hand it over personally.
