A course guide describes a subject taught on a degree programme. Depending
on the university, or even the faculty or programme, it may provide a general
overview of the subject or take an in-depth look at the ground to be covered by
the students. It generally includes information such as the course code,
prerequisites, learning objectives, learning outcomes, methodology, types of
classes, the assessment system and practical information such as office hours for
lecturers, reading lists and the study load/ECTS credits. It also focuses on the
competences to be acquired by students, which are crucial to help guide them
and direct their learning and study, and it covers every aspect of the learning
students must acquire and the assessment activities they must complete in order
to pass the subject.The present style guide is designed principally for lecturers tasked with preparing
these guides in English. However, it may also be useful for course coordinators,
language services, freelance translators and mobility students. It provides
definitions of competences, learning objectives and learning outcomes, as well as
practical advice on how to write and present them. It also provides guidance on
how to write and present course content and examines certain aspects of
language use
