Hi,

Under what scenerio do we use the three types of subrequirement category?

1, Index dependent

2. index independent

3. auxillay condition

Hi Ravi,

1) Index-dependent means that an index has to be calculated in order to decide if a rule is fulfilled.

Examples of indices: at least x credits, at least x courses.

2) Index-independent means that a decision about the rule fulfilment can be done w/o calculating an

index. Evaluating a condition is enough. Examples for conditions are: course X has to be passed, all

mandatory Modules have to be passed, high school transcript must be available. During admission audit

you may require to check certain transcripts etc.,

3) Auxiliary Conditions are defined on top of the Sub Requirements included in a Requirement. Logically

they belong to the Requirement (the container of Sub Requirements).

Examples: B.A. History Requirement contains several Sub Requirements like 10 credits in Ancient

History, 10 credits in European History and so on. In addition to the Sub Requirements there is the

Auxiliary Condition that at least 40 credits have to be reached of all the Modules which can be used to

fulfill the Sub Requirements included in the Requirement.

Dear Ravi the difference between these subrequirements is given below:

When you create a subrequirement, you must define its category. The subrequirement category determines which subrequirement elements you can assign to the subrequirement.

1. Index dependent: Subrequirement category which is based on a performance index. Index-dependent means that an index has to be calculated in order to decide if a rule is fulfilled. Examples of indices: at least x credits, Average Grade better than x, at least x courses.

Elements of an index-dependent subrequirement:

Performance indices and their target values

Filters for selection of academic work objects

Selection method for module proposals

2. Index independent: Subrequirement category which is not based on a performance index but on a condition. Index-independent means that a decision about the rule fulfilment can be done w/o calculating an index. Evaluating a condition is enough. Examples for conditions are: course X has to be passed, all mandatory Modules have to be passed, high school transcript must be available.

Elements of an index-independent subrequirement:

Conditions

Selection method for module proposals

3. Auxiliary condition: Auxiliary Conditions are defined on top of the Sub Requirements included in a Requirement. Logically they belong to the Requirement (the container of Sub Requirements).

Example for an Auxiliary Condition could be that out of a list of Sub Requirements included in a Requirement, only 80% (or 2 out of 3) Sub Requirements need to be fulfilled.

Hope it will clear your doubts.

Warm Regards
