Explanation of credits: a(b-c-d)
a is the total credit of the course
b is the number of hours per week for lectures
c is the number of hours per week for laboratory/practical work (3 hours is counted as 1 credit)
d is the number of hours per week students spend on self study (always twice the amount of “a”)
Auditing Courses
Auditing courses do not count toward the total credits on your transcript. However, the course name will appear on the transcript and it will be marked as audited. Students auditing a course must pass with a letter grade “S”. (Two types of letter grades are awarded for auditing a course: “S” for Satisfactory and “U” for Unsatisfactory)
When you register for your courses on the registrar’s website, you will be asked to select the course name and the “type of registration” or the “type of credit”. The type of registration for audit is “AU” and the type of credit is “SU”.
Check the course syllabus for each course to see the requirements to pass the course.
Seminar
The graduate level seminar (consisting of 6 courses) is an activity where all current graduate students get together and participate in a discussion. The seminar is held weekly on Friday afternoon (please see the announcement for exact dates and time). It is open for everyone to attend (graduate students, undergraduate students, professors, staff, external individuals). All courses have the same structure which consists of 2 main parts: (1) Selected Topic Session and (2) Oral Presentation Session, as shown in the following table.
| Schedule* | Activity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| First 10-11 weeks of the semester | Selected Topic Session | All graduate students get together to discuss topics that have been proposed (by students) and organized by the course coordinator. Please see the Seminar Concept Sheet. |
| Last 4-5 weeks of the semester | Oral presentation | Registered students provide an oral presentation on the topic they have prepared under the supervision of their thesis advisor. Please see the course e-learning website for the syllabus. |
