SSK rules are not correct #27

Closed Jopyth closed 8 years ago

Jopyth commented 8 years ago

You can only use exactly 6 points from the SSK-MA category, not more. Currently it is possible to satisfy the Softskills rule with for example 9 points from SSK-MA, 6 points from SSK-KO, and 3 points SSK-RE.

In der Modulgruppe Softskills (SSK) ist das Pflichtmodul Softskills: Management (SSK-MA) mit 6 LP zu erbringen.

It depends on how you read these sentences. It always says something along the lines of "zu erbringen", but I assume making more points than necessary is no problem. Thus it would only be an error if you cold satisfy the second part of the rule ("Weiter müssen in der Modulgruppe Softskills 12 LP erworben werden...") with a set of courses as you describe (6 SSK-KO and 3 SSK-RE + any courses with SSK-MA only). I failed to reproduce a such combination. Note some SSK-MA courses can also be used towards SSK-KO or SSK-RE.

Can you produce a such combination?

knub commented 8 years ago

I think @Jopyth is right. You are not allowed to do more than 6 LP in SSK-MA (atleast it does not count towards the degree then). Doing 9 LP in SSK-MA can be achieved by taking "Fuehrungskompetenz" and "Management Essentials", which are both SSK-MA only. Even if such a combination were not possible so far, it might be in the future. The rule is not implemented correctly.

I'm afraid I don't understand the issue. You can achieve 9 LP with the one courses named above, but how is that a problem. Those points are not counted towards the "rest" as far as I know and having 9 instead of 6 should not be a problem?

knub commented 8 years ago

Ah, I see. So that's what I meant by "it does not count towards your degree" then. So if I do this as above, the 3LP of Management Essentials are ignored by 120? Correct? That would be fine then, of course.

I understood that Joseph said, he could satisfy the Softskills rule of attending 18 CP with 9 CP in SSK-MA.

That's why I was asking for a combination of courses 120 validates but the Studienordnung would not. I'm 90% sure a course counted towards MA is not counted towards another one

Jopyth commented 8 years ago

I think I was mistaken, I was confused by different SSK categories of Personal Management Skills in the different semesters. In WS15/16 it has SSK-MA and SSK-KO, and before it was only SSK-MA, it seems.
