You can influence the value of a lesson in several ways.
| • | Directly by entering a fixed value. This results in all other inpu tvalues and factors that affect this lesson being overridden. If you precede the value with an additional equals sign “=”, time limitations will also be ignored. (This will be illustrated later in the course of a another example.) |
Negative values are also valid.
| • | Indirectly by preceding the existing value with a “+“or “*“. This defines either a summand that is added to the total value of the lesson or a further factor that is multiplied with the value. |
The figure below shows you teacher Gauss’ lessons. The “Value =” column displays the total value of the lesson in question.

| • | A value of 1.500 has been entered in the first line (lesson 4). The original value was 1.155 and is now ovewritten by the new value, and individual factors are overridden. |
| • | In the third line you will see the value 2.000 for lesson 26. However, the 'Value=' columns contains the value 0.921 since the time limitation has been taken into account. |
| • | Lesson 28 is very similar to lesson 26. However, in this case '=2.000' was entered under value. Prefixing the equals sign means that the time limitation is not taken into account. |
The modifications and entries described always have an effect on lessons as a whole. For example, entering a fixed value for a coupled lesson that is held by two teachers can have an effect on both of them.
Note: Line values
Use the “Line value” input field if the entry should only apply to one teacher. This field does not apply to the whole lesson. It only affects the coupling line in question. As with the “Value” field, you can enter additional factors, summands or fixed values in the “Line Value” field.
The “ Examples of value calculation” chapter describes in more detail how values are generally calculated.
