Create / Edit Course

Introduction

A Course is the basic building block of a programme. Each course represents a unit of study with defined credits, assessment weighting, and grading requirements.

Steps to Add or Edit a Course

1. Navigate to Programme > Create/Edit Course.

2. Complete the course form with the required details.

3. Click Save.

• To edit an existing course (before publishing), use the same Create/Edit Course page.

Points to Note

1. Course Code

   • A code is mandatory and serves as the unique identifier for the course.

2. Credits

   • Ensure the correct credit value is entered.

   • ?? Incorrect credits will lead to incorrect GPA calculations.

3. Weighting

   • Enter the correct weighting for Coursework and Examination.

   • If you intend to capture grades based on modules:

     • Set 0 for Coursework and Examination weighting.

     • The system will then allow you to add modules and specify their weightings.

4. Require Grade

   • If a course does not require a final grade (e.g., placement-based courses such as Community Service), select the appropriate option.

Publishing

• Once a course is created, it must be published before it can be added to a Programme Map.

• ?? After a course is published, it cannot be modified.
