ECTS for Partaking in the ACP Seminar

Within the IMADA department, the ACP Seminar can be considered a "Ph.D. course activity". As such, it can grant ECTS credits to Ph.D. students from all IMADA sections, much like regular courses.

ECTS value

Completing the course activity once is worth 1.5 ECTS. The same student can complete the activity up to three times.

Content

The ACP seminar provides its audience with an overview of the research being currently carried out by ACP members, as well as their collaborators and guests.

Regulations

To complete the course activity once, a Ph.D. student must, in any order, attend 8 talks by speakers other than themselves, and present their work at one talk. The student must ensure that the course responsible is tracking their attendance.

Hours

We estimate that completing the course activity will take you no more than 7 contact hours and 28 at-home preparation hours.

Course Responsible

The current organizer of the ACP seminar (i.e., the person ACP members contact to schedule a talk) is also the course responsible for the ACP seminar regarded as a Ph.D. course activity.

Approval of Course Activity

At the time of writing, all IMADA section seminars, including the ACP seminar, are preapproved by the Ph.D. Study Committee, meaning that no formality is required before starting to follow the seminars. In the unlikely case this changes, you might encounter resistance when trying to register the course activity outcome after completing the seminar (see next section). If this happens, you can get explicit approval by filling in section 1 of this form (section 2 is already filled in). After you and your main supervisor have signed it, you must send it to the Ph.D. Study Committee chair (beware: this link will only work if you are already signed in on SDUnet). Afterwards, you will have no problems registering the course activity outcome.

Registration of Course Activity Outcome

After completing the course activity, simply ask the course responsible to notify natphd@sdu.dk with you in CC. No attachments necessary. Your ECTS will soon appear on PhDweb.
