X-class - teacher interface

<h2><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></h2>

<p>Students are generally not allowed to take two time-conflicting classes. However, under certain conditions, they may request to take two such classes together, provided that one of them is designated as an X-class. This policy has been in place since Fall 2022.</p>

<p>If the instructor agrees to mark the course as an X-class in the course comments column (as shown in the figure below), the instructor must <u><span style="color:#d35400;">provide a full semester&#39;s worth of teaching videos.</span></u> Under certain conditions, students may request to take two time-conflicting classes together (one of which must be an X-class).</p>

<p><strong><em>Certain&nbsp; conditions</em></strong></p>

<p>Students must complete the &#39;X-Class Application Form&#39; to discuss with the X-Class instructor various aspects of the course learning, such as physical class participation, interactive discussions, practical exercises, exam scheduling and course assessment methods. Students are not permitted to request additional tuition from two different course instructors or to request a leave of absence based on attendance at another course. Regardless of quizzes, midterms, finals, or other exams that conflict with another course, students may not ask the instructor to reschedule exams, provide additional make-up opportunities, or consider grades differently.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span>Once a student&#39;s request has been approved, the X-class cannot be cancelled.</p>

<p>If no student requests are received by the add/drop deadline, the X-Class notation may still be maintained, but instructional videos may no longer be provided.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:1.25em;">How to use the Teacher Interface</span></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-size:1.25em;">Evaluation during Course Scheduling</span></strong><br />
Teachers will be provided with a <span style="color:#d35400;">full semester&#39;s worth of instructional videos </span>for their courses. Students may request flexible and collaborative independent study in the event of scheduling conflicts. At the instructor&#39;s discretion, the instructional videos provided may be used exclusively by students who have requested schedule conflicts or may be shared with the entire class.</p>

<p>Students are required to complete the &quot;X-Class Application Form&quot; to discuss with the X-Class instructor various aspects of the course learning, such as physical class participation, interactive discussions, practical exercises, exam scheduling, and course assessment methods. Students are not permitted to request additional tuition from two different course instructors, or to request a leave of absence based on attendance at another course. Regardless of quizzes, midterms, finals, or other exams that conflict with another course, students may not ask the instructor to reschedule exams, provide additional make-up opportunities, or consider grades differently.</p>

<p>Neither teacher of the two courses is required to provide additional instruction or take time off to attend another class. Whether it is a quiz, mid-term, final or any other examination, teachers cannot be asked to reschedule, provide additional make-up opportunities or consider grades differently if the examination time conflicts with another course.</p>

<p>Teacher approval is required for scheduling conflicts, but the course registration process must still be completed by the students themselves (online selection or add/remove).</p>
