This page gives you an overview of relevant information regarding teaching and exam activities and logging at MGMT.
Please be aware of the following rules regarding the scheduling of your teaching: Principles for the planning of teaching activities at Aarhus BSS
Be particularly aware of the following: 'The teaching takes place on Monday to Thursday from 8:00-18:00 and on Friday from 8:00-16:00. The academic staff is available for teaching in this time period, and exceptions to this due to extraordinary circumstances must always be approved for the semester in question by the head of department-.'

Criteria
When you make or change the course description, please ask yourself:
Guidelines
Furthermore, when you write the exam assignment please consider:
Marking of exams must take place before the deadline stated in WISEflow. Delays have a number of adverse effects for both BSS Studies and the students (e.g. timely registration for retakes, trouble with exchange and potential loss of SU).
Procedure for requesting an extension
If extraordinary conditions (e.g. illness) prevent you from correcting the exams that you have agreed to, please email Christian Waldstrøm as soon as possible to figure out possible alternatives. Other deadlines, poor planning, etc. are NOT extraordinary conditions.
If you know in advance that you will have difficulty meeting your obligations, please find colleagues who are willing to help you and inform the relevant study secretary of this, so the WISEflow distribution can be altered. You can use Excelsior to find colleagues with available capacity or ask Christian Waldstrøm or Anne Nisker Toppenberg for help finding resources.
As a research and teaching institution, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards cheating and plagiarism in exams, and it is part of your teaching responsibilities to be vigilant about this.
Please familiarise yourself with the rules and definitions of cheating at AU and what to do if you encounter cheating at exams: Cheating at exams
All electronically submitted assignments in WISEflow are automatically checked for overlap with other sources by Ouriginal (formerly Urkund) which is integrated into WISEflow. Please note that Ouriginal (formerly Urkund) cannot decide whether there is indeed a case of fraudulent plagiarism, which is why you always need to investigate each instance further.
PLEASE NOTE: If you suspect instances of cheating or plagiarism, please contact Christian Waldstrøm or Anne Nisker Toppenberg since they have to report all plagiarism cases to Educational Law.
This description of the external examiner’s role comes from the secretariat for external examiners of business administration, but the general guidelines apply to all our programmes.
At MGMT we supervise on a number of different activities.
For HA/BSc(B)/BA, CM/MSc, the supervision almost exclusively takes place in the spring. In the preceding autumn, you will be contacted by a study secretary about your availability to supervise projects, and asked to provide key words/topics that students can use to find you. Please note that there are different supervisor lists for HA and CM and that the same key words/topics might not be relevant for both lists, as the CM programmes are more specialised than HA.
Please be aware of the following:
More about supervision:
Just as all students are different from each other, so are we, and there are few restrictions on how we choose to supervise as long as we adhere to the overall guidelines and make ourselves available to them to the extent defined by the norms.
Therefore, it is impossible (and most likely counterproductive) to create guides that try to encompass all those differences. Below you can find a number of inspirational resources that have been suggested by MGMT colleagues. Please note that these guides are NOT formal MGMT/AU guidelines and should only be used for your own inspiration. If you find discrepancies, always refer to the formal guidelines, most notably the specific course description.

All logging is done here:

All VIPs are responsible for keeping their Excelsior data as updated as possible: This means having a reasonably precise budget for the current/next year and ensuring the correctness of the registrations for past years.
If you need an introduction or further assistance, please contact Anne Nisker Toppenberg (ITIM) or Merete Elmann (MAR and OSA).
Deficit and surplus
All teaching deficit and surplus is transferred to the following year’s budget. Large year-on-year deficits or surpluses are not necessarily a problem as there might be good reasons for them (e.g. saving for sabbatical). However, teachers whose budgets show a continuing deficit or surplus should contact the heads of programme and/or their head of section to find a solution. If you have trouble finding enough teaching – or need help getting rid of an amassed surplus - please contact Christian Waldstrøm or Anne Nisker Toppenberg.
Excelsior – who does what?
Here is an overview of all teaching norms including compound norms and capacity reductions:
Category and hours/year
Development of new course or major changes to existing course
If you develop a new course, you will receive 90 hours for your work. If the course is an elective that ends up not running, you will receive 30 hours for development.
If you take over a course – or part of a course – you will receive hours for development according to how much of the course you have taken over and the amount of time you have spent.
To have the hours added to Excelsior, please contact Anne Nisker Toppenberg
Those who wish to take on teaching or supervision at other BSS departments or AU faculties, and who want to have their workload included in their annual norm and logged in Excelsior, must obtain the department’s pre-approval before entering into an agreement. It needs to be assessed whether there are non-allocated teaching activities which would be more advantageous to have the teacher cover before teaching at other departments or faculties, and furthermore, there must be an agreement with the other department about the financial side. Please send your request to Anne Nisker Toppenberg.
Teaching activities outside AU are not included in the annual norm and consequently not registered in Excelsior. The teacher must negotiate payment with the institution him/herself. Please familiarise yourself with the AU Staff Policy on other paid employment: Staff Policy
For activities with the purpose of branding AU to potential new students and similar activities, please consult with Christian Waldstrøm or Anne Nisker Toppenberg.
