FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

The timetable card represents one block of teaching in the timetable (one "window" in the timetable, most often two hours long). It contains the course code (according to the Study plans = White Book), the surname of the teacher and the code of the classroom. The timetable card is colored according to the department that provides the relevant course.

Most courses have lectures and exercises, so they have several timetable cards in the timetable (there is usually a noticeable difference in the name of the timetable card: e.g. "LAL" is a lecture and "LALcv" is an exercise).

An example of the timetable card with explanations is in the picture:

The White Book is the basis for creating a timetable for a given semester, as it contains the study plans of all study programs in all years of bachelor's or master's study.

The White Book is published annually and you can find it in PDF on the FNSPE website (For students → Study Programmes and Regulations).

Each course is provided or guaranteed by one of the FNSPE departments. Each department has one color in the timetable, which is then used for all its courses in the timetable:

• 01XXX ... Department of Mathematics (no. 01),
• 02XXX ... Department of Physics (no. 02),
• 04XXX ... Department of Humanities and Languages (no. 04),
• 11XXX ... Department of Solid State Engineering (no. 11),
• 12XXX ... Department of Laser Physics and Photonics (no. 12),
• 14XXX ... Department of Materials (no. 14),
• 15XXX ... Department of Nuclear Chemistry (no. 15),
• 16XXX ... Department of Dosimetry and Application of Ionizing Radiation (no. 16),
• 17XXX ... Department of Nuclear Reactors (no. 17),
• 18XXX ... Department of Software Engineering (no. 18).

If the course code is highlighted in red, the course is realised in a non-standard way. For example: once every 14 days OR only for a certain part of the semester OR there is an alternation of two courses in one classroom with a weekly frequency...

You can find specific information about the implementation of such a course in the important information or the relevant teacher will provide it to you at the first lecture/exercise.

The classroom code is noted on the bottom right of the timetable card. Classrooms in the Břehová building have a code beginning with "B-" (e.g. B-103). Classrooms in the Trojanova building usually have a code starting with "T-" (eg T-101). For classroom codes that start with a different letter, it is best to look up the classroom list to find the correct building (3rd column in the table).

The "main" classrooms in the Břehová and Trojanova buildings (with codes starting with "B-" and "T-") have the floor number immediately after the dash (e.g. "T-201" is on the second floor of the Trojanova building). If you're not sure where to go, ask in the building's reception.

First, read the additional important information (look for the course code according to the White Book).
If you did not find the answer in the additional information, then contact the scheduler of the relevant department.

In exceptional cases, the course is taught in different classrooms. So the timetable card contains "různé" as classroom code. Please, read the additional important information (look for the subject code according to the White Book) - some courses rotate several classrooms during the semester.
If you do not find the answer in the additional information on the schedule, contact the scheduler of the relevant department to tell you where the course will take place for the first time.

The name of the guarantor of the subject is given in the White Book. However, some subjects have several parallel groups (typically, exercises, e. g. 01MANcv, 01LALcv, 18ZPROcv,...) and then the name of the teacher who actually implements the course is indicated on the timetable card.

If it is a course(s) with the code 04XYZ (languages), look in the menu Students - Languages. If it is a course with a different code, first read the additional important information (look for the subject code according to the White Book). If you did not find the answer there, contact the scheduler of the relevant department. It is possible that this is an error.

First, look at the course name: if it contains "/", then these are two codes of the same subject and one of them should correspond to your study plan - you can check this in the White Book. It can also be a "globally" optional course.
If you still don't have an answer, read the additional important information (look for the course code).
Last way: contact the scheduler of the relevant department (it may be an error in the timetable).

If the name of the course is written in red letters on the timetable card, then the teaching takes place in a non-standard way. Details will be given by the teacher at the first lecture/exercise.
If the name of the course is in black letters, read the additional important information.
If the course is not mentioned in the additional information, contact the scheduler of the relevant department.

If the course names are in red, then both courses are likely to alternate - read the additional important information (look for the course code).
If course names are in black:

• If both courses are mandatory, then this is an error in the schedule - contact the scheduler of the relevant department.
• If it is a mandatory course and optional course, ask the teacher of the optional course about the credit conditions (exams, etc.) without attendance.
• If there are two optional courses, choose only one of them. Alternatively, apply the previous procedure – an agreement with the teacher of one course.
