Lecturer FAQ

Intro

This page should answer to all questions regarding teaching at Estonian IT College. Feel free to add missing information

I am interested! What do you need?

The curriculum is available at here. Expect changes due to merge with Tallinn University of Technology.

There are many courses where we could use help, just pick your favourite topic(s) and send Lauri an e-mail to see how you could fit the big picture.

To make things smoother please mention your Estonian ID-code, academic degree and attach your CV.


What topics should the course cover

For most 1st year courses there is a subject program available when clicking on the course link at ÕIS.

If you're assigned to a new course it's also your task to create the course description. Note that for new courses the salary is multiplied with a coefficient of 1.5 for the first semester.


What's my workload

As per TUT rules the workload for student means:

  • 3 ECTS - 78 academic hours of workload
  • 6 ECTS - 156 academic hours of workload
  • 9 ECTS - 234 academic hours of workload

TUT rules also specify maximum contact lessons:

  • 3 ECTS - 2 academic hours per week or 32 academic hours per semester
  • 6 ECTS - 4 academic hours per week or 64 academic hours per semester
  • 9 ECTS - 6 academic hours per week or 96 academic hours per semester

It is possible to cram 3 ECTS course to half-semester, in which case the per week hours are doubled. In other words 3 ECTS course given in 2 months means 4 academic hours per week.

It is up to the lecturer how you're planning to split the time between traditional lectures and hands on labs.

At the moment Merike is in charge of the schedule. The schedule is of course not hard coded and it is possible to make changes. Please forward your requests to Merike. You can check if your timetable at https://itcollege.ois.ee/en/timetable and by typing your name into Lecturer field.

What's my salary

Part time lecturers (which most of you are) are paid in the end of the semester (january and may ?). A formula is used to calculate the payments which takes into account ECTS, number of students and your academic degree. The contracts will be signed in the beginning of semester once the number of students is known, that's beginning of February for Spring semester and September for Fall semester.

Note that for new courses the salary is multiplied with a coefficient of 1.5 for the first semester.

What's my username/password

Once a user has been created for you at ÕIS/SIS please log in at https://itcollege.ois.ee/ and attempt to log in with ID-card. Once logged in you can reset your password by clicking My settings -> Change my password. Click on My Data and scroll down to User information and remember your username.
