Schedule – Teacher

Last Updated: 03/03/2022

Teaching hours

The teacher’s schedule allows us to view the teacher’s semiannual or weekly schedule, in a given school period, related to the classes of the curricular units that the teacher teaches.

At the teacher’s time, the classes in which the teacher himself is defined as the planned teacher are shown.

To access the teacher’s schedule, perform the following steps:

1. Access the Fénix platform in https://fenix.iscte-iul.pt/
   
2. Go to the “Login page” tab.
   
3. Authenticate using Iscte account credentials (e.g. xxnes@iscte-iul.pt and password).
   
4. Go to the “Teaching” tab.
   
5. Choose the “Teaching hours” option from the left side menu.

Visualization

By default, the current week’s time page is shown on the teacher’s time page. Use the “Semester“ field to see the time of a different school period.

To indicate whether you want to see the semiannual time or time of a given week, use the features of the “Choose semester or week” section.

At the teacher’s time, the weeks start on the 1st business day (Monday) and end on Saturday.

Each week is represented by a sequential number.

To check which number corresponds to a week, you must hover over the numbers until the date of the 1st business day (Monday) of the desired week is shown. Clicking on a number will show the time of that week.

At the time corresponding to each class, the following data are shown:

• the shift code (for example, “L0638-2”);
• the acronym of the class type (e.g. “(PL)” for practical/laboratory classes);
• the name of the curricular unit when hovering over the classroom information fields;
• the start and end times of the lesson when hovering over the classroom information fields;
• the dates of the planned classes that take place on the same day of the week and at the same time throughout the semester when positioning the mouse on the reticences of the Dates;
• the classes associated with the shift when positioning the mouse on the reticences of the Classes;
• the classrooms assigned to the classes (the weekly schedule should be consulted for specific information about the classroom of each class) and
• the normal capacity of each room by positioning the mouse over the name of a room.

Half-yearly hours

To view the semiannual schedule, click on “Semiannual Hours” in the “Choose semester or week” section.

Weekly hours

To check the weekly schedule, click on the “week number” in the “Choose semester or week” section.

The “Semiannual Time” query does not dispense with the “Weekly Schedule” query, since the extra classes as well as the replacement classes are shown only in the “Weekly Schedule“.

Warnings shown during teaching hours

The time page is shown the following warnings in case there are missing summaries in classes already occurred or classes without teacher planned.

When there are classes with no teacher planned, the warning message that is shown:

[Attention: There are classes without a teacher planned in the curricular units!]

does not require any additional procedure unless the “Teaching Schedule” is complete.

Classes that have not planned teachers, although shown in the “Class Calendar” of all teachers in this shift, are not shown at their schedules because they are not yet associated with the schedule of any teacher. But from the moment a teacher indicates what classes he will teach (by clicking on “Teach” in the “Class Calendar“), they are shown at the time of that teacher.

You can check “Teaching Time” in a specific calendar management software with or without updating changes.
