The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry has decided to no longer use the teaching records system which has been used in the last few years. This decision is based on technical challenges with the system, and the fact that it is difficult to ensure sufficient data quality. Instead of the individual lecturer having to register his/her teaching activities, the faculty will attempt to retrieve data from Felles studentsystem (FS) as a basis for teaching records.
