👉👉👉Do you know what a CURRICULUM means? 👇

✍️ A curriculum
✅ is a structured, standards-based plan that outlines the learning experiences students will have in a particular course of study or educational program.

✅ Serves as a central guide for educators, detailing the learning goals, content, teaching methods, instructional materials, and assessment strategies needed to facilitate a student's understanding and application of knowledge and skills.

✅ is derived from the Latin word for "to run" or "to proceed," and

✅ defines the "course of deeds and experiences" for achieving educational outcomes.

✍️For example:
👉 If you are placed to study an academic program called Computer Science, the CURRICULUM of your program, COMPUTER SCIENCE, may include:

✅ the list of all courses and credit hours of all the courses in each semester for the four years!.

✅ All contents to be covered in each course.

✅ the tools/software you are going to work with for each course if the courses are with practical classes.

✅ assessment types and their standards.

... and other necessary information about the program!

🤔 So, what do your instructors provide you with in their first class?

👉 Well Done!!!

👇Now, what is the best academic program in the university?

✍️ The best academic program in any university is an academic program you are placed to study or an academic program you are on studying!

👇 Be informed that each academic program has its own application area!!!

👇 So, what is needed to be the first person in this application area to be competent, selected, and hired to work for any industry, company, or organization?

✍️ The answer is your knowledge-oriented willingness with an academic program you graduated from!

✍️ For your 🚧 Caution! and general knowledge! 🤔

✍️ Here are the most important points you have to know if you are an undergraduate program (BSc or BA) student!

👉 What is Semester Load?
      ✍️ is the total ECTS, or credit hours, for a full-time regular student per semester.
       ✍️ Minimum of 25 ECTS or 15 credit hours.
       ✍️ Maximum of 35 ECTS or 22 credit hours, unless stated in the course catalogue/curriculum.

👉 What is Underload?
      ✍️ if one student is registered for below 25 ECTS or 15 credit hours.

👉 What is Overload?
       ✍️ if one student is registered for above 35 ECTS or 22 credit hours, unless stated in the course catalogue/curriculum.

👉 What does it mean when we say a prerequisite course?
      ✍️ a course that must have been taken prior to enrolling/registering for another specific course.
     ✍️ For Example:
👇 Communicative English Language Skill I
      is a prerequisite course for
👇 Communicative English Language Skill Il

👉 What is Course Dropping?
      ✍️ is not enrolling/registering for one or more specific course/courses.
        #WHY? Due to different reasons.
✍️ For Example:
👇 If you scored an "F" grade in Communicative English Language Skill I, you must drop the course 👇 Communicative English Language Skill II.

👉 What is Course Adding?
      ✍️ is a mechanism of enrolling/registering for one or more specific remaining courses until you reach the semester maximum load!
      #WHY? Due to different reasons.
       ✍️ For Example:
👇 If you dropped the course Communicative English Language Skill II due to your "F" grade in the prerequisite,
     you can add/enroll in another course in place of your Communicative English Language Skill II with your prior or next batch!

👉 What is Course Repeating?
      ✍️ a mechanism of enrolling in a course with an "F" grade until the "F" grade is removed. At most twice!
#What will happen if one student scores F after repeating the course twice?

👉 Why is one student forced to drop a specific course?
       ✍️ if a student obtains an "F" grade in a prerequisite course.
       ✍️ For Example:
👇 If a student obtains an "F" grade in Communicative English Skill I, a student is forced to drop Communicative English Language Skill II.

👉 Is the course adding mandatory?
      ✍️ Yes! If one student is enrolled with underload ECTS or credit hours or has not taken the course based on the course catalogue/curriculum!

🤝 So, value your courses with prerequisites!
