Running a course

New academic year and repeat students

A new academic year does not mean building your course from scratch. ISEUS keeps every year separately, so you carry last year’s structure into the new one while the history stays untouched. In the same step you decide how repeat students are treated.

How it works

  1. 01

    Preview before copying

    Before copying you see what will be carried over: activities, exams and groups from the previous year.

  2. 02

    Rules for repeat students

    For lectures, labs and activities you choose separately: keep the old points or redo them in the new year. Exams are always taken in the current year.

  3. 03

    The new year is ready

    The course is ready for enrolment, and you can change the repeat-student rules later in the course settings.

What each role gets

Professor

A structure that worked last year carries over in minutes, and you decide about repeat students, not a spreadsheet.

Assistant

Groups and activities are ready from the first session, with nothing to set up again.

Student

As a repeat student you know in advance which parts are recognised and which you redo.

Frequently asked questions

How do I copy a course from last academic year?

In the course you start copying from last year, review what will be carried over and confirm. Last year’s data stays as it was, and the new year gets the same structure.

How are repeat students graded?

For lectures, labs and activities the professor chooses whether a repeat student keeps the points from the year in which they earned the signature or redoes that part in the current year. By default points are kept; exams are always taken in the current year.

Is old data deleted?

No. Every academic year is stored separately, with its own attendance, activities and exams.
