“The curriculum is set by the school according to the national guidelines and the students have few choices. The students are always together for a class except PE and elective classes. The school is completing the transition from a 3 year to a 4 year school.”

“Understanding the full curriculum has been hard as it is currently not translated to English in my department. I teach about half my classes as part of the main curriculum and about half are elective courses. Elective courses are easily written and validated though they will not be taken as seriously as the main curriculum courses by the students. It is important to know if you are teaching four year degree students or three year diploma students as their level and outcomes are different. In my department it is about a 50:50 split.”
