+====== VVZ, Vorlesungsverzeichnis ======
+VVZ, or Vorlesungsverzeichnis, is [[https://hfg-karlsruhe.de/vorlesungsverzeichnis/|the public catalogue of courses offered at HfG]]. This is a short guideline for lecturers that need to submit their courses.
+  - Send your course details to your department's VVZ Contact.
+  - After VVZ Contacts review all courses, all lecturers will receive the link to the VVZ Form.
+  - Each lecturer submits the reviewed course details via the VVZ Form, once for each course.
+  - Answer all questions, otherwise the form will fail to send.
+  - No confirmation email will be sent after submitting the form.
+  * **Please read the [[https://cloud.hfg-karlsruhe.de/s/72afzMRFnBBzgXJ|VVZ Richtlinien]] before submitting your courses.**
+  * VVZ Contacts are encouraged to re-create this [[https://cloud.hfg-karlsruhe.de/apps/forms/s/DRjoBf6fQXTEfnNN6DyzsJPb | Template Form]] to collect information from their department's colleagues.

-VVZ, or Vorlesungsverzeichnis, is [[https://hfg-karlsruhe.de/vorlesungsverzeichnis/|the public catalogue of courses offered at HfG]]. Lecturers have to submit their course information before each semester, so that students can plan ahead. Information will be transferred to the VVZ website automatically and publicly displayed in it. If you have any technical issues, please contact [[support@hfg-karlsruhe.de]]; for other doubts, please contact [[vvz@hfg-karlsruhe.de]].

+===== Fachgebiet =====
+There are five paths of study at the HfG, as well as interdisciplinary and inter-departmental offers, including workshops, laboratories and other projects (such as BioDesign Lab, Open Resource Center, Workshops for metal, woodworking, ceramics, photography, etc.) Thus, the subcategories for Fachgebiet are:
+  - Ausstellungsdesign und Szenografie
+  - Fachübergreifende Veranstaltungen
+  - Kommunikationsdesign
+  - Kunstwissenschaft und Medienphilosophie
+  - Medienkunst
+  - Produktdesign
+===== Veranstaltungstyp =====
+The subcategories for Veranstaltungstyp are:
+  - Basis Lehrveranstaltung
+  - Blockseminar
+  - Einzelbesprechung
+  - Exkursion
+  - Kolloquium
+  - Grundlagenkurs
+  - Seminar
+  - Veranstaltung
+  - Vorlesung
+  - Workshop
+**Basis Lehrveranstaltungen** are a very particular type of course with unique implications; a dedicated section can be found below that contains all the context and details.
+**Blockseminar:** Shorter, intensive seminars. Their duration can vary from a few days to a few weeks. Depending on the work produced by students, they can grant either a Leistungsschein and, occasionally and for lower workloads, a Workshop-Nachweis can be considered.
+**Einzelbesprechung:** Sprechstunde, tutoring. Consultation from students, usually but not necessarily one-to-one. No credit can ever be awarded for these, since they are meant to orient students’ work in other courses or projects.
+**Exkursion:** Off-premises visits and trips. Given their short duration, most often they do not offer credits. However, on exceptional occasions, excursions could take place that are long or intense enough to justify awarding a credit. Finally, it is common for excursions to take place as part of a seminar. In such cases, the credit must be awarded through the seminar, not the excursion.
+**Kolloquium:** Usually centred around the students’ projects or a shared interest, these are ongoing, regular spaces for open discussion. Similar to Einzelbesprechung, they cannot award credits, because they are meant to support existing work that is carried out for other seminars.
+**Grundlagenkurs:** They are meant to teach a concrete, technical skill or knowledge (lighting, drawing, CAD software, etc.) Each department has a specific set of Grundlagenkurse, consult the corresponding Prüfungsordnung. They must always offer a Grundlagennachweis and, when appropriate, they can additionally offer a Leistungsschein.
+**Seminar:** Lasting for at least one entire semester, most of the standard courses fall under this category: long-form, taking place on a regular basis. Commonly, they can grant Leistungsschein, but in cases where the theoretical content is a substantial part of the seminar, they can also offer Leistungsschein Fachtheorie. This decision falls upon the lecturers themselves, and should be made responsibly. Only one credit can be awarded to each student for a single Seminar.
+**Veranstaltung:** Often taking place in the evenings, these are public-facing events which connect the HfG to the broader community in Karlsruhe. Without exception, Veranstaltungen cannot grant course credits.
+Vorlesung: Ongoing lectures provided by the teachers with little to no input from the students. If the teaching style is more participatory, then it should be classified as a seminar. If it does not take place regularly, it should be classified as a Blockseminar.
+**Workshop:** Usually shorter in time, the teaching style must be interactive and participative, often emphasising a hands-on and experimental approach. They cannot offer Basisleistungsscheine, Leistungsscheine, nor Leistungsschein Fachtheorie.
+==== Basis Lehrveranstaltung ====
+Basis Lehrveranstaltungen are a very particular course type, with specific requirements and implications. This section tries to provide as many details and as much context as possible. Nonetheless, lecturers should always check with their department’s VVZ-Kontakt before submitting a Basis Lehrveranstaltung to the Vorlesungsverzeichnis.
+Basis Lehrveranstaltungen should take place regularly, for at least one semester. To obtain a Basisleistungsschein, students can present theoretical or artistic work, appropriate with the field of each course.
+  * Basis Lehrveranstaltungen should provide undergraduate students with an introduction to a specific field or discipline, mapping it out for them. These courses therefore have a high degree of theoretical and historical content; thus, they should always be taught in cooperation with the theory department.
+  * The different Prüfungsordnungen, which regulate each Studiengang, determine that each student must obtain three Basis-Leistungsscheine, of which one must be an introduction to either Kunstwissenschaft or Medien Philosophie. The number of basic courses required per semester must be calculated from this requirement and the planned number of all first-time and new enrolments.
+  * The Kunstwissenschaft und Medienphilosophie department will offer one Basis Lehrveranstaltung each semester, alternating between an introduction to philosophy and an introduction to art history.
+  * On a rotating basis, two of the four remaining departments will offer the remaining two Basis Lehrveranstaltungen. They will do so in cooperation with the theory department.
+  * The theory department will appoint a person responsible for the coordination and management of Basis Lehrveranstaltungen.
+In terms of the credits awarded by Basis Lehrveranstaltungen:
+  * No Basisleistungsschein can be offered by any courses that are not Basis-Lehrveranstaltung.
+  * All Basis Lehrveranstaltungen must grant a Basisleistungsschein, but they can also offer other Scheine for more advanced students and different workloads. In such cases, only one of the two possible Scheine can be offered to the same student for the same Basis-Lehveranstaltung, never both, without exception.
+===== Scheinerwerb =====
+Without exception, credits of a certain department can only be granted by teachers from that same department. If no teacher from a certain department participates in the seminar, credits cannot be offered for that department.
+There are five types of Scheine: Basisleistungsschein, Grundlagennachweis, Leistungsschein, Leistungsschein Fachtheorie, and Workshop-Nachweis. Courses can also take place without offering any credits.
+**Basisleistungsschein** are very particular, see the section for Basis Lehrveranstaltung above.
-. Send your course details to your department's VVZ Contact.
+**Grundlagennachweis:** Without exception, they can only be granted by Grundlagenkurse, and all Grundlagenkurse must offer a Grundlagennachweis. For reference, see the section on Grundlagenkurse above, as well as each department’s Prüfungsordnungen.
-. After VVZ Contacts review all courses, all lecturers will receive the link to the VVZ Form.
-. Each lecturer submits the reviewed course details via the VVZ Form, once for each course.
-. Answer all questions, otherwise the form will fail to send.
-. No confirmation email will be sent after submitting the form.
+**Leistungsschein:** This is the ‘standard’ credit type, and the most common. They are usually awarded by Seminars, and are equivalent to three Workshop-Nachweis of the same study path. They cannot be awarded by short courses with low workloads, such as Workshops, Exkursions, etc. Students can submit both theoretical and artistic work, as well as mixed approaches, to secure a Leistungsschein, as long as the workload, topics, and methodologies are appropriate to the seminar, as per the lecturer’s responsibility.
-{{ :en:vvz:richtlinien.pdf | VVZ Richtlinien}}
+**Lesitungsschein Fachtheorie:** In the context of a practical or artistic subject, and when a significant portion of a Seminar’s content is theoretical, it can grant a Leistungsschein Fachtheorie. This decision is the responsibility of the lecturer. For this reason, it is recommended that this is an important point of discussion during the meeting that the VVZ-Kontakte will have with Prüfungsamt prior to the publication of the VVZ.
+**Workshop-Nachweis:** Three Workshop-Nachweise of the same study path are equivalent to one Leistungsschein of that same study path. Therefore, the workloads required for these two types must approximately preserve this ratio. In the case of Kunstwissenschaft und Medienphilosophie, the ratio is 2:1, instead of 3:1.
