Pitfalls
Do not click the button "Send Request" (or similar) for approval. Such request will be ignored and generates additional workload.
After each change the study needs to get approved again. So check after each change, if new approval is required.
How-to register VP hours for students
In Sona you need to grant the VP hours after participants completet their slots: Got go "View/Administer Time Slots" > "All Timeslots" > "Modify" for each slot > Select in the "Credit Granted" column otherwise in the "No-Show" column > "Update Sign-Ups"
Some students will contact you if they need a signature for the "gelben Zettel". For these students, do the following:
-
Send all filled and signed forms in one bulk to the supervisor as PDF files.
She or he sends them back with their digital signature.
Send the completed PDF files to the respective students.
