Checklist for Running a Course

This document is still under construction

(Last updated: Apr 8, 2025)

This document is created by Yen-Chia Hsu when running the data science and information visualization courses for the Bachelor Information Science program (Informatiekunde), based on personal experiences and also the university's documentation of teaching matters.

Important: this document is created in the context of the Informatics Institute under the Bachelor Information Science program (Informatiekunde). The situation may be different if you teach in another faculty or in another program.

Who to Contact

  • AV coordinator (Academische Vaardigheden, which means Academic Skills in English): TA requests for the Bachelor level programs
  • Study advisor: personal circumstances that could affect studen learning, see here
  • Program coordinator: daily operation issues for the program, such as TA requests for the Master level programs
  • Program director: issues related to course changes, such as course redesign, or changing assessment methods

Course Planning

  • If you need to redesign an existing course, contact the program director to get extra DVM (Docent Vergoedingen Model) hours for the work.
  • If you want to propose a new course, contact the program director to pitch the course and ask for extra DVM hours for the work.

Long Before the Course

  • Respond to the email of timetabling constraints (sent from rooster-science@uva.nl)
  • Go to DataNose to check the scheduling of the course when it is ready. If you need to make changes (e.g., merging multiple small seminars into larger ones, changing lecture time, etc.) put comments on the course page on DataNose, and the scheduling team will take care of that.

Just Before the Course

During the Course

  • Move students to a different group if necessary. First click on the course name on DataNose, click on the "Students" block at the top menu bar near "History", click on a student name, choose "move" to assign the student to another group.

After the Course

  • Update the course record on DataNose with all assessment materials. On the DataNose home page, click the course name, click the "Course record" block at the top menu bar near "History", check the "Assessment overview" section, click on the items (e.g., " Tentamen digitaal 1") that has a weight in the grade calculation, check the "Documents" section, and finally click on the "Add document" button to add the assessment materials (together with the answers if applied).
