Dragan Bojić
University of Belgrade

2. INTRODUCTION The Process of Change Reform Board Principles
CS Dept. Proposed Curriculum

3. THE PROCESS OF CHANGE
Prologue: under old law on high education, a complicated procedure (so nothing changed for years, or informally – new contents under old name)
Current process:
1. Informal discussion between faculty staff
2. A discussion on Faculty Council
3. Reform Board established: Dept Chiefs+members of Education Board+Dean and Vice Deans
4. Reform Board Grounding Principles, to be verified by Faculty Council
5. Proposals of the new Curriculum (only 2 Depts.)
6. Accepting (Faculty-University Councils, and implementing (not yet )

4. Reform Board Conclusion on Principles (09.04.2002)
To add optional shorter course of study.
Longer course: 8 sem of courses + 1 for diploma thesis
Shorter: 6 semester, no diploma thesis
To introduce credit system (elective courses):
First year and half same for all, in higher semesters progressive introduction of elective courses
Changing of curriculum should be made dynamic
Elective courses should be held only if there is a certain number of enrolled students
To make all courses one semestral
Max. 30 classes per week for each student group
To reconsider classical model of ex catedra lectures and “blackboard” exercises – to merge it with lab. exercises
