Induction plan for the teaching and research staff

Teaching hours

The department to which you are affiliated will tell you your teaching hours and timetable (teaching load). The faculty or school for which you teach is responsible for the class timetable, exams and schedules and ensuring all this information is published. You can consult it at EVIA. It is important that you make sure that the information published is correct because it is the information that is made available to students and is used to put together their timetables.

EVIA also serves as a reminder of the classroom you have been assigned for subjects, examination dates or timetables for practical sessions.

You can contact the bachelor's degree or master's degree coordinator if you detect any problems or have any queries.

The classrooms are equipped with technological equipment and operating instructions. You can also contact your campus porter or the coordinator of the bachelor's or master's degree, who will support you in everything you need.

Course guide

All degree courses have a course guide with binding information. It is the learning and evaluation contract we make with the students, so once the guide for a particular academic year has been closed, it cannot be modified.

Course guides can be reviewed before the end of the academic year to prepare for the next one. If you are the head of a subject, you will be sent an email by the faculty/school some time around June notifying you that the application is open and explaining how to fill in the details and for what deadline. The guide, which is equivalent to the syllabus for the subjects, deals with all the key aspects of the subjects, which is why it is important that you take your time and include all the detail with care. Once it has been closed (July), no changes can be made until the following academic year.

The head of department and the coordinator of the bachelor's or master's degree are responsible for the course guides being completed properly and before the registration period. As the person ultimately responsible for the courses, the dean gives extra support and makes sure that all the information provided in the guide is correct. Guides are important for the quality of the courses we teach.

We advise you to do these preparatory activities if this is the first time you have taught.
