Individual Work

Definition

Individual work or job that a student takes on in during his/her studies.

Individual work can be a:

  • Term paper

  • Dissertation

  • Work/study project

Use

The individual work object (object type CI) allows you to enter data on individual work assignments and work/study projects that students complete during their studies. Individual work refers to a specific student or group of students.

Example Example

Students working toward a PhD must submit a doctoral dissertation. Each student therefore produces a piece of individual work.

End of the example.

Structure

Individual work (object type CI) either relates to a module (object type SM) or business event type (object type D). You can assign the individual work items to modules or business event types in the module catalog , and maintain their data there. You can only assign an individual work item to a module or business event type that has a category designated as individual work.

Note Note

Your system administrator defines a category as individual work in Customizing for Student Lifecycle Management in the section Start of the navigation path Student Lifecycle Management Master Data Next navigation step Academic Structure Next navigation step Individual Work Next navigation step Set Up Categories End of the navigation path .

End of the note.

You assign the category to a module in the infotype Module Data (1746) and to a business event type in the infotype Category (1731).

When a lecturer or instructor creates individual work for a module or business event type, (s)he can create a new individual work object for each topic. This would be the case if a term paper has different topics.

The individual work object contains the following infotypes:

  • Object (1000)

  • Relationships (1001)

  • Description (1002)

  • Web Link (1061)

  • Sessions of Offering (1739)

  • Individual Work (1774)

  • Submission Dates (1775)

Module Booking Process

You can assign an individual work item to a student in the module booking process. If the lecturer or instructor has created items of individual work for a module (representing the different term paper topics), the student can choose a topic from these individual work items. You can also create an individual work item during the module booking process.

If the student has to submit a term paper or dissertation, you can choose the relevant individual work item and then maintain the topic.

You can view the individual work item assigned to a student in the student file using program content .
