Factual Information: This section should provide information about the practical aspects of the course. The part DURATION should contain information about the length of the course or programme. Typically, it is assumed that programmes aimed at achieving a certain degree (such as Bachelor, Magister, etc.) will last several years; if the length of study period is not fixed in advance, please fill in the approximate number of years needed for completing the programme plus add information that the length of the period is not fixed in advance. For separate courses on an individual subject, the duration should be typically filled in in number of semesters AND number of months/weeks. In case the course is offered on a regular basis (e.g., every academic year), the section FROM - TO should indicate the months when the course is taught. In case the course is not taught regularly, please fill in the months AND add also the year(s). In both cases, this information is intended to provide the students with information needed for detailed planning. The section HRS per WEEK is intended to display the intensity of the teaching by specifying the number of hours to be spent at class for the course. If the number of hours expected to be dedicated by the student to the preparation for the course outside class is unexpectedly high, please specify this as an extra information. The number of ECTS credit points should simply define the qualification a student obtains within the ECTS framework after finishing the course successfully. Links: This section should provide useful Internet links for anyone interested in more information about the course itself as well as about practical matters around. The link to COURSE MATERIAL should point out to specific material(s) not covered by the COURSE DESCRIPTION above. The DEPARTMENT and INSTITUTION should provide basic information about the institutional background; in case the course is offered jointly by more departments/institutions, please provide all the relevant links plus point out which is the principal institution (if any). The web-page of the INSTITUTION should contain a pointer to a site where practical information for students coming from outside the area can be offered relevant practical help with formalities, accommodation etc. The CONTACT person(s) should be typically an e-mail address of the teaching staff responsible for the course.
