Right now we are preparing a school management decision where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kth.se\/profile\/janwi\">Jan Wikander<\/a> will determine ITMs guidelines for managing written exams as a complement to the KTH exam rules. The decision will be taken later on this autumn and it has been discussed (I hope) in several different groupings (so that you\u2019ve had the possibility to influence it). One of the most important aspects in the decision is that all teachers shall send a digital version of their exams to the studentexpeditions at least three working days before the exam date. This since it\u2019s the studentsexpeditions responsibility to print the exams, make sure all the exam guards get their copies as well as delivering it to the FUNKA unit. This means that the possibility for teachers to print the exam themselves and then deliver it directly to the exam rooms disappear.<\/p>\n<p>And although the decision isn\u2019t formally made yet, it is desirable that we implement this routine right away, for exam period 1.<\/p>\n<p>In addition we are also reinstating the routine that the studentexpedition will send out an email to all the exminators approximately one week before the exam with the information on how many student that are notified, a room placement list (which shows the rooms that are booked for that specific exam) and a reminder to submit the exam to them no later then three days before the examination date.<\/p>\n<p>Besides this other interesting educationally focused things are happening at KTH. The Vice Dean of Education, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kth.se\/profile\/perbe\">Per Berglund<\/a>, welcomes KTH&#8217;s staff to four seminars focusing on education and quality:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kth.se\/aktuellt\/kalender\/sprakpolicy-2-0-policy-for-ett-tvasprakigt-kth-1.849672?date=2018-10-23&amp;orgdate=2018-10-23&amp;length=1&amp;orglength=1\">The first one is on October 23<sup>rd<\/sup><\/a> and is focused on Language Policy 2.0, which is a policy for a bilingual KTH.<u><\/u><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kth.se\/aktuellt\/kalender\/fran-esg-till-kth-s-kvalitetsarbete-i-praktiken-1.849682?date=2018-11-12&amp;orgdate=2018-11-12&amp;length=1&amp;orglength=1\">The second one is on November 12<sup>th<\/sup><\/a> and is focused on discussing experiences from the work done with the program analysis performed during 2018.<\/li>\n<li>And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kth.se\/aktuellt\/kalender\/hogskolepedagogiskt-excellensprogram-vad-ska-det-vara-bra-for-1.849686?date=2018-11-27&amp;orgdate=2018-11-27&amp;length=1&amp;orglength=1\">the third one is on November 27<sup>th<\/sup><\/a> and are focused on a Higher education excellence program.
