Changes in the Curriculum of ETF Belgrade Dragan Bojić University of Belgrade

INTRODUCTION The Process of Change Reform Board Principles CS Dept. Proposed Curriculum

THE PROCESS OF CHANGE Prologue: under old law on high education, a complicated procedure (so nothing changed for years, or informally – new contents under old name) Current process: 1. Informal discussion between faculty staff 2. A discussion on Faculty Council 3. Reform Board established: Dept Chiefs+members of Education Board+Dean and Vice Deans 4. Reform Board Grounding Principles, to be verified by Faculty Council 5. Proposals of the new Curriculum (only 2 Depts.) 6. Accepting (Faculty-University Councils, and implementing (not yet )

Reform Board Conclusion on Principles (09.04.2002) To add optional shorter course of study. Longer course: 8 sem of courses + 1 for diploma thesis Shorter: 6 semester, no diploma thesis To introduce credit system (elective courses): First year and half same for all, in higher semesters progressive introduction of elective courses Changing of curriculum should be made dynamic Elective courses should be held only if there is a certain number of enrolled students To make all courses one semestral Max. 30 classes per week for each student group To reconsider classical model of ex catedra lectures and “blackboard” exercises – to merge it with lab. exercises
