Entering the Teacher’s Notebook, restricting the list of processed students

When entering the teacher application (Teacher’s Notebook), it is necessary to specify the course(s) the teacher wants to work with:

The system offers courses that the teacher teaches in the given semester, as well as courses for which the Course Catalogue specifies that grades are entered by all instructors (joint projects, thesis supervision, etc.). Users with the access right s_vyuka can also select additional courses of their department.

To work with the selection of students in a course or seminar group, the teacher can click the arrow next to the course or seminar group name.

On every page of the Teacher’s Notebook, a panel is available showing an overview of the selected courses, including the current semester phase:

Students are naturally selected by the system according to the semester phase defined by the academic year schedule. The individual phases are:

• “registration in progress” (active registered and active enrolled students) – registration period,
• “teaching in progress” (active enrolled students) – enrolment and enrolment change period, teaching period, and the examination period plus two months,
• “teaching completed” (active, completed, and inactive enrolled students) – two months after the end of the examination period.

Yes. You can manage one course under multiple codes by adding it to the selection under all relevant codes. For the selected courses, you can then perform certain operations jointly, such as creating examination dates, entering assessments, generating statistics, and similar actions:

A teacher can restrict the list of students, for example, to students registered for a specific examination date, limit the list to a selected seminar group, or to students repeating the course, etc. The selected group of students can then be used, for example, to send a e-mail. The teacher defines restrictions in the Teacher agenda:

Restrictions are set by first ticking the desired course or courses at the top of the page, then selecting the required restriction or restrictions at the bottom, and only then clicking the selection button next to the checked course. It is assumed that restrictions are selected less frequently than working without restrictions.

Students are naturally selected by the system according to the semester phase defined by the academic year schedule. The individual phases are:

• “registration in progress” (active registered and active enrolled students) – registration period,
• “teaching in progress” (active enrolled students) – this phase includes the enrolment and enrolment change period, the teaching period, and the examination period plus two months,
• “teaching completed” (active, completed, and inactive enrolled students) – two months after the end of the examination period.

In saved selections, the set of students therefore changes when the semester phase changes according to the academic calendar.

Yes. A teacher can find previous selections in the Teacher agenda:

The teacher has two options for working with a previous selection:

• Use this selection – use this option if you want to work with a previously created list that will not be updated (i.e. if a student no longer meets the specified conditions after the selection was created, they will not be removed). In this case, the already created and saved student selection is used.
• Update students in the selection and use it – use this option if you want the list of students to be updated according to the originally defined conditions.

The history is limited in both time (six months) and quantity. Users only have access to a limited number of the most recent selections.

This application is intended for advanced users. If you are unsure how to proceed, please contact vsfsis@fi.muni.cz .

You can use this application when you need to select students using complex combined conditions, for example across multiple semesters or multiple periods. To perform an advanced selection, first choose the course(s) for which you want to apply the selection, click “Change restrictions”, and then select “Advanced selections”.

If, for example, you already have students selected from a previous selection and want to apply additional restrictions, tick the option to include previously selected students and choose an operator to combine both selections (AND, OR, MINUS). In this way, you can gradually build an entire chain of selections. If you do not tick the option to include the current selection, the operator options will disappear and only the current requirement will be recorded.

If you need to gradually narrow down a specific group of students, select the option to include previously selected students and then add restrictions using the AND operator. This allows you to progressively filter the desired group of students you want to work with.
