Credit hours Vs Contact Hours

[Dr Amr Gad]

Dear all
I used your great software yesterday, I found it very useful.. I think it will satisfy all my needs except one thing I couldn't make it automatically.
we have -as you know- 2 types of hours for every activity, credit Hour and contact hour..
they are differ from activity to another... because of practical activities period will be divided into the half.
so there is :
act.01 = 3 credit but 5 contact
act.02 = 3 credit and 3 contact
act.03 = 3 credit but 6 contact

So my suggestion is :
1- to add a place for the 2 kinds in activity panel.
2- the schedule will concern to the contact hours
3- the teachers and students statics will concern to credit hours

Thanks

I am sorry, but I do not understand. I hope Volker or other users will answer to this.

Maybe you can show me some explanatory documents or pictures or detail some more.

[Dr Amr Gad]

Thank you Liviu for your fast reply.
I'll try to explain again..
(I think all credit hours systems are like us),Some lectures in our university has 2 parts (practical and theoretical) in the theoretical part 1hour lecture = 1hour credit ,
But in the practical part 1hour lecture = a half hour (0.5) credit
So in time table I need to count and arrange the actual lectures hours to not conflict... but in the statics of students and teachers I need to count the credit hours.
so I need to separate the lecture (actual contact) hours and the credit hours.

I hope this message is more obvious 

Thank you
Dr Amr Gad

Do you mean "statistics" instead of "statics"?

There is no way for this in the official FET, unfortunately. You can add activity tags to activities, but the duration of an activity is an unique integer.

In which statistics dialog/HTML results do you need the credit hours computed like this? We might do a custom version for you, with a custom activity tag name.

I guess you need it mainly to check if your activity planning is fine.

If you didn't used activty tags fet you might just tag the activities with "credit" and "contact".
Then you will be able to check in FET -> advancted -> activity planning
the sum of the "credit" and "contact" hours separately if you check the "show tags" checkbox at the right side.
