Course Syllabus

Course syllabus is a document delineating the content and structure of an academic course. It offers students the opportunity to acquaint themselves with the course objectives and anticipated learning outcomes, the curriculum, recommended reading materials, various class formats, and grading principles.

Students are encouraged to review the syllabi of their courses proactively, allowing them to address any queries to the lecturer at the earliest convenience.

In response to the evolving nature of the subject matter, the lecturer may periodically revise the course syllabus, independent of its scheduled implementation. Any such modifications will be communicated to students via email or through SmartLMS.

Should there be alterations affecting the quantity and protocol of assessment components, students are to be notified three academic days prior to the commencement of the impacted assessment. In the event of minor adjustments to the examination process, students should be informed five days ahead of the exam period. Further details are available in the Regulations for Interim and Ongoing Assessments of Students at HSE University.

The syllabus is made available on the university portal no later than five days before the beginning of the module in which it will be conducted. All course syllabi can be accessed on the HSE University website via the database of all courses: http://www.hse.ru/edu/courses/

If there are any disputes with the lecturer regarding the course syllabus, students may seek assistance from their programme's study office manager or the personnel of the Department Service Centre.
