Course schedule and appointments

Your course can only achieve its full functionality in Stud.IP when the system knows your course schedule.

You have two options on this page for setting up appointments for the course sessions. You can specify the appointments manually (and that is particularly advisable for irregular courses such as block seminars) or start the Schedule Wizard.

The Schedule Wizard

The Schedule Wizard is the fastest opportunity for scheduling all the dates for a course. Before you start the Wizard, take a brief look at the two boxes with options (highlighted in red in the image):

If you click on one of the boxes, a checkmark appears. In this manner you can stipulate whether the Wizard should automatically set up folders with the individual dates in the Forum and in the Document area. Folders allow debates to be conducted on the individual sessions. The course material can thus be further worked out, deepened or criticised. Folders in the Document area are used to upload documents, e.g. work materials, which you yourself can insert or students’ term papers, which are thus available to all of the course participants.

To start the Wizard, simply click on the Start Schedule Wizard button. The Schedule Wizard then schedules the course dates proceeding from the start week, the course day and the type of course (e.g. weekly).

You now receive the following overview of course appointments or the Schedule, respectively:

The Wizard normally knows the dates of bank holidays — no course sessions will be scheduled on those dates. However, it is still not a bad idea when you compare this with your personal time planning and delete superfluous course dates if necessary.

Your course schedule can indeed be used, but it is not yet fully completed. All course appointments and the required folders, if applicable, have been set up — but please take the time to “breathe life into the individual appointments", i.e.: to give them titles and to describe them in more detail. Your students will greatly appreciate this.

Manually scheduling course appointments

To manually schedule a course appointment, please click on the Manually schedule course appointments button. You are immediately transferred directly to the Editing course appointments window.

Editing course appointments

To edit a course appointment, click on the arrow at the beginning of the line. The individual course appointment will then be opened and can be edited.

In the Editing window for a course appointment on the Header bar you first see fields for the entry of the

  • Date and time

of a course appointment. If you used the schedule wizard for scheduling, entries have already been made here.

  • Under Title

You can enter a name for the course appointment. It should be short, precise and concise — for the exact

  • Description

of what should take place at this course appointment. The larger field, which is located below it, is also at your disposal.

  • Under Room

you can specify the course room. However, this is only necessary if the course will sometimes be conducted in a room other than the one that you have already specified in the basic course data (step 1 of the Course Wwizard).

  • Type

allows the specification of the type of course appointment . You may choose from the following: session, preliminary discussion, test, field trip, other purpose or special session.

  • Below this you now see two boxes for Place subject in Forum and Create file folder. The purpose and usefulness of these features has already been described above. Mark the box if you desire subject and folder for the course date. If you have already charged the schedule wizard with the preparation, you do not have to worry about this at all.

To schedule the course appointment in this manner or to save the the entries made, click on

Deleting course appointments

To delete one or more course appointments, click on the course appointment overview page (which shows the complete schedule) in the box at the end of the line containing the course appointment to be deleted. Subsequently, a checkmark appears in the box. Herewith the course appointment is marked for deletion. It will only really be deleted if you click on one of the buttons

which you see at the beginning and end of the schedule.
