Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims:
- Develop the competence to effectively plan, carry out, and critically evaluate training units in alignment with principles of training science
- Skillfully design and coordinate load parameters within the contexts of training application and training control.
- Demonstrate proficiency in facilitating and incorporating both self-reflection and external feedback into the training process, including thorough documentation of training activities.

Content:
- Tests and assessments
- Monitoring
- Application of training science concepts

Methods:
- The first sessions are structured as interactive lectures accompanied by group discussions, serving as the foundational knowledge for subsequent activities.
- Students are tasked with practical applications of course material, applying it to either a fictitious or real-world scenario. This hands-on approach will allow them to develop expertise in test planning, execution, and evaluation, as well as the critical aspects of training management, control, data analysis, and presentation.
Methods used encompass:
- Lecture
- Online Quiz
- group discussions
- peer review
- journal club
- presentations
- Teach-back

Assessment and permitted materials

Partial performances consist of:
- Participation in class
- Treatment of two relevant articles in the Journal Club (~9th unit)
- Review and reflection of learned material in the Teachback Workshop (~11th unit)
- Presentations and peer review with constructive feedback for fellow students (~6th and ~14th unit)
- Submission of the written training process by the end of the semester.

The use of AI is explicitly permitted in the course. The application of AI can be in the revision and editing of self-written texts or for support in coding.
You are explicitly advised that if you are found to have cheated (e.g., Copying, plagiarism, use of unauthorized aids, forgery, ghostwriting), the entire PI-LV will be considered cheated and will count as a citation. (Entry in U:SPACE: X = not assessed).

All work completed by students in courses in the winter semester must be submitted by 31 March of the following year at the latest, and for courses in the summer semester, by 31 October of the following year at the latest.
However, earlier deadlines will be set to allow students to receive individual feedback and to ensure that grades are available for progression in the following semester.

All students who have been accepted onto a course must be assessed, unless they have cancelled their registration in due time or can demonstrate good cause for dropping out of the course. (§ 10 para. 6 of the study regulations of the University of Vienna). A negatively assessed course with exam immanence must be repeated by completing the course again. An assessment by an examination board is not permitted. (§ 10 para. 7 of the study law part of the statutes)

Students who use unauthorised aids during examinations (e.g. cheating, copying, plagiarism, falsification, ghostwriting, etc.) will not be assessed (entry in u:space: X = not assessed). The attempt at the examination will be documented separately in the summary report and will count towards the maximum number of attempts. (§ 12 para. 6 of the statutes governing studies)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- For a positive assessment, all partial performances (see above) must be completed within the communicated deadlines!
- The minimum requirement is 80% attendance and completion of all subsections.
- Grading
