Amicable solution definition
Amicable solution. An agreement that permanently ends points of disagreement so it is no longer possible to attest them, nor to raise any disputes or exceptions. Standard learning track: For professional bachelor programmes and advanced bachelor programmes: A pre-drawn study track comprising 60 or 30 credits per academic year which, due to its educational consistency, allows the student to obtain his diploma within the specified minimum duration. For Higher Professional Education and associate degree programmes, the number of credits may be lower. Numerical grades: A whole number within the range from zero to twenty that, according to the assessment framework (see Annex 3), shows the extent to which a student has acquired competences of a course unit or parts thereof. Ombudsperson: Person acting as mediator in disputes and problems between the student and one or more staff members. Educational activities: The general term for theoretical courses, seminars, practical sessions, laboratories, educational activities, work assigned individually to the student, and internships. Educational concept: A policy statement that guarantees high-quality education at the UAS. It is future-oriented and includes goals for continuous educational development. The educational concept concerns specific aspects and priorities the school wants to focus on in education and the manner in which this is to be achieved. In this sense, it is a mission statement for education as a core process. Language of instruction: The language in which a course unit is taught. Teaching method: In each course unit, different types of teaching methods can be distinguished which are associated with their own teaching activities. The teaching method describes the manner in which the teaching is carried out: e.g. lecture, seminar, practice, internship, workplace learning, project assignments. The teaching method comes with learning activities so that the objectives can be achieved. The teaching method along with the assessment method forms a coherent whole. Irregularity: Any act or situation, or any behaviour that prevents the examiner—and by extension the Examination Board—from reaching an objective opinion regarding the competence(s) of a student. Used credits: Credits related to course units for which a student has enrolled in a given academic year.
