What are the topic lists for?

The topic lists within the course is an agenda by which the teacher defines a set of topics and allows students to select them, sign up for them. Typically, topics such as papers or group projects can be divided in this way. It is similar to the agenda for recording the topics of final (diploma, bachelor) theses.

1 Select the check boxes for the selected topics in order to go to the bulk edit topics.

2 If you want to edit only one topic, select "Edit" in the Display operations menu.

One topic list is recorded using the following data:

name, abbreviation, instructions,
when enrollment is allowed (from → to), can also be set for topics (see below),
how many maximum topics a student may choose from the topic list,
pre-filling capacity for topics,
topic list features → allowing students to create their own topics, setting up a homework vault / notebook for topics, setting up an email to be sent when enrolling to a topic,
prerequisites → prerequisites (as for course registration, not usually used),
filtering according to the selection in the Teacher’s Notebook → filtering to students meeting the selection criteria,
sharing the topic list with other courses,
what events to record for the topic (usually just that the topic is finished, e.g. the paper has been turned in).

It is also possible to restrict registration (from-to) for individual topics in the topic list. The specified deadlines will take precedence in assessing whether a student can enroll over the deadline specified in the common topic list setting (the common deadlines applicable to the topic list will apply if no from-to dates are specified for the topic).
