1. ECTS and learning outcomes the project at the university of cyprus Dr. Gregory Makrides, Director of Research and International Relations Service ERASMUS Institutional Coordinator www.ucy.ac.cy

2. Procedure UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS Project started in July 2011 with a target to be completed by Summer of 2013 Step 1 Investigation and listing of those degree programmes, which are not structured at 30 ECTS per semester, 60 ECTS per year Analysis

3. Procedure • Step 2: Preparation of Templates for Study Programmes and Units • The templates will be used to collect the missing information needed based on the ECTS guidelines • Waiting for decision by the Senate so that all departments will be required to respond to the requested information. • Step 3: Preparation of a plan of meetings and seminars at the • academic departments : • Development of Learning Outcomes for each unit and for each study programme • Collection of information from each department and from each academic person in charge of a unit UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS

4. Procedure UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS • Step 4: Design and development of a special platform to host the study programme with the structure of the ECTS guidelines • Step 5: Begin validation exercise for measuring the work load for each unit • Plan of action • Pilot application during Fall of 2012

5. Procedure adapted for introducing the Learning Outcomes for units UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS Bloom’sTaxonomy ΜAS101 - Calculus Ι Properties of real numbers. The basic properties of supA, infA. Sequences of real numbers, limits of sequences. Real valued functions, the inverse of a function, limits of functions, continuous functions, uniform continuity, the Intermediate Value Theorem, the Extreme Value Theory. Derivatives, graphs of functions, the Mean value theorem, L’Hopital’s rule. Students should be able to -apply correctly the properties of real numbers -apply the basic properties of supA and infA in solving problems -solve problems on sequences of real numbers and limits of sequences -identify real valued functions and their properties -compute the inverse of a function, limits of functions and their applications -prove theorems introduced in the course (such as the MVT) -apply the theorems introduced in the course to solve problems -compute the derivative of RVF -analyze and construct the graph of RVF -apply L’Hopital’s rule in solving problems
