Read the guidelines ! • ATTENTION ! If you select courses in your ISP you will have to pass them in order to pass the program, even if you have passed more than 120 credits (exceptions for EMM students, see later). ISP = contract commitment !!!!! 31 Program book: course structure Program is structured in course modules: Fundamentals, Core, Options, Broadening electives, containing list of courses Available information Comments Phase Code Teacher(s) Title Prerequisites Credits Semester Compulsory/elective 32 Learning activities Each course is built by Learning activities: lectures, exercises, etc. Course information 33 Individual Study Program EMM students • All courses (KUL and 2nd year locations) will be visible in ISP: this academic year select only the K.U. Leuven courses next academic year re-register in KU Leuven, and select the 2nd year courses ! • Exception: Lecture series: runs over both years, but evaluation is in year 2, so select it in year 2 only ! Standard or flexible trajectory You choose yourself which courses you follow when and how many credits you take per year or semester ! Two possibilities: 1) Pre-defined model trajectory (only courses from your phase) - Guaranteed lecture and exam schedule Balanced spread over the semesters Indication of education phase (1 or 2) and sem (1 or 2) Decision on pass/fail taken at the end ! Advise to follow model trajectory as much as possible ! 2) Indivualized trajectory (courses from both phases) - not following the model trajectory follow courses from different phases check order of enrolment information (i.e. prerequisite) ! In case of re-registrations of failed courses Decision on pass/fail taken at the end ! 34 Standard of flexible trajectory Recommended to choose Standard trajectory as much as possible to avoid problems with schedules etc. Course prerequisites and progress condition (Order of enrolment) • Course prerequisites: - Strict condition: credits for course A should have been obtained before you can select course B - Flexible condition: course A should have been followed (but not passed) before you can select course B - Simultaneous condition: course A and course B should be followed at least simultaneously • Progress condition: - You should have obtained x credits before you can select course C: • Nanomaster: 48 ects to start Master thesis and/or internship ! • In some cases I can overrule these prerequisites, only if motivated (e.g. prerequisite of Bachelor degree) 35 Course prerequisites and progress condition Course prequisite Examples Progress condition 36 After adding all courses, ‘Save ISP’ + check schedule for overlaps As long as you didn’t click ‘Send ISP’, you can still make changes to your program. Individual Study Program • • • • • • • • Please review/define your program, and make your choices of fundamentals, general interest and elective courses asap ! Read syllabi on the program book ! Check course schedule for conflicts ! Check exam schedule. If all is ok then send it ! ATTENTION: once sent you cannot change it anymore (I can still change it).

Leuven you have always two exam chances for each course • There are 3 examination periods: - Jan.11 – Jan 30 : 1st semester courses June 6 – June 25 : 2nd sem courses + evt. 2nd chance for 1st sem courses (EMM only) Aug. 9– Sep 3 : 2nd chance for 1st and 2nd sem courses • Exams can ONLY take place during these periods, do not make appointments with teachers outside these periods ! • most exam schedules will be completed in advance so that you will know when you will have to do exams for all the courses you take this year. • IES = tool to (automatically) assign or select exam moments, and is automatically linked to your ISP. • Check with your choice of ISP also your exam schedule before you send the ISP ! 51 After ISP: check your exam schedule Exams and IES 1. Assignation period: 8-20 september - Exams for compulsory courses of your study phase are automatically assigned ! You can only check the schedule, but not change it. ATTENTION ! If you deselect a compulsory course in your ISP in this period and afterwards want to select it again your exam moment is gone, and you can not register it anymore in this period ! 2. Registration period: 21 september – 7 october - • • • Your can now select and register exam moments for all non-compulsory courses and for compulsory courses of another study phase You can also change already assigned exam moments for compulsory courses to another date in order to avoid possible conflicts with other exam moments for electives ! The exams for courses without a schedule at this moment, will be organized in agreement with the teacher. Only send your ISP when exam schedule is complete ! For exams of the third examination session (august-september) you have to register beginning of july (deadline: 15 july): http://www.kuleuven.be/english/education/examinations/ier/ies 52 Explanation of the legend ‘Free choice of exam’ : select 1 exam moment for every course. Save exam schedule. Check completeness of schedule. Booking overview Courses which have no exam or for which you can agree a date with the professor Courses for which you have been assigned an exam slot 53 Explanation of the legend Don’t send emails regarding exam schedule conflicts to Program Director ! More details: read this website ! https://icts.kuleuven.be/docs/at/cm/ve/manual Exam formats, scoring and feedback • Default format: oral examination with written preparation: after you got the questions, you prepare the answers. Then you are called by the professor and you clarify and discuss these answers with the professor. • Dont let you surprise ! – We will organize a dummy exam to test yourself ! • Professors should explain exam format well in time ! If he/she did not: ASK ! Formats are also available in the program book • Courses are scored on a total scale of 20 points, percentage is weighted sum of scores of all courses ! • After each examination session: scores will be made available on KU Loket, and a session will be planned with program director to discuss your results and what to do next ! • You are allowed/encouraged to contact the Professor to ask for feedback after the exams: what did I do right/wrong ? 54 Problems during exams • Exam dates can only be changed in exceptional situations (e.g. illness), and ONLY by the ombuds person after consulting with the teacher • If you cannot attend an exam • ALWAYS inform the faculty secretary (Isabelle Benoit) and (one of) the ombuds persons (Devin Verreck and Dimitrios Andrikopoulos) beforehand ! - - Inform the teacher in time that you will not attend the exam ! Absence on a fixed examdate is ONLY allowed based on clear motivation (illness, accident, personal problems), NOT on study related reasons (not ready to do exam). Unregister your exam in the IES system If you are absent without reason or notice you loose your exam chance • Ombudsperson is available for helping you with problems (conflicts, schedule, illness, etc.): Devin Verreck, Dimitrios Andrikopoulos ! Our mission is to: Ensure the university rules are followed by both students and professors/assistants; Safeguard that all students are treated equally. What do we do? We answer questions about the exam rules and student services; We move an exam moment in case of serious illness or other unforeseen circumstances. -We always need some proof, usually a doctor’s note. -ALWAYS notify us if you need to reschedule an exam moment! -SIGNAL YOUR PROBLEM IN TIME, moving exam moments is a slow procedure If you feel you are being treated unfairly by the university or the professors/assistants, contact us. What we do NOT do? We are NOT responsible for your ISP which should be discussed with your program director (Prof. Guido Groeseneken or Prof. Marc Heyns). We do NOT answer questions related to the content of courses. We do NOT make the exam schedules. We do NOT optimize exam schedules without a valid reason. Contact: [email protected] or [email protected] 55 Fraude and plagiarism ATTENTION: (attempts to) fraude during an exam is strongly penalized ! What is considered fraude ? Some examples: use smart phone, cell phones, notebooks etc. during the exam to lookup exam relevant information pass notes, texts etc. to another student during an exam without permission from supervisors write key words or formulas on your arm in in your hand have course notes, books, handouts open during a closed book exam copy/paste text from public sources into own reports without proper referencing Possible sanctions: An invalid exam: the student needs to retake the exam An appropriate mark or zero for the assignment or the examination in question No marks for some or any of the examinations during the examination period in question Exclusion for one or more course units. The student receives a zero for the course units in question and will only be able to retake an examination in the next academic year Exclusion for a programme of study. Loss of the right to enrolment in the next academic year or the two next academic years. See also: http://www.kuleuven.be/plagiarism/index.html Retake exams • When you fail a course in the January or the June session you can do a retake in the August session ! • When you do retake exam in August for a failed course: you keep your highest score from the two chances (only within one academic year ) • When you pass the course you cannot do a retake to increase your score ! • You can send motivated request for permission by the faculty to do retake exams of sem 1 courses in the June session, but only for special reasons (should be motivated and exceptional !) • EMM students are allowed to take second chance exams in the June session to allow a smooth transition to 2nd year university, BUT it is advised to do this only if the number of exams is limited to a few (1 to 3 max) ! They have to ask permission as well ! 56 Common scoring system for EMM Nano students • all courses of the program, including the master thesis, are scored in a common scoring system. • 1st year is initially scored in KUL scoring system, conversion for 1st year scores is done in October of the second year • local academic coordinator of each institution is responsible for the conversion and delivery of the examination scores to the program coordinator at K.U. Leuven • common grading scale in 6 categories from 8 to 20, using the conversion table (next slide) •scores and the ECTS credits on each course unit are stored in the ICTS system of K.U.Leuven Common scoring system for EMM Nano students K.U.
