With time limitations the value of a lesson always depends on the length of the term in which it is held.
Caution: Terms
If terms are used, this is no longer the case: a term has the same value as a whole school year as far as value calculation is concerned. This means that a lesson that is held in a term is evaluated as if it were held for the whole school year.
The reason for this is that frequently at the beginning of a school year a short period, e.g. 4 weeks, is planned and its values are then taken as budget values for the remainder of the school year. This prevents, for example, a one-week ski course during the school year from messing up the value calculation.
Example:
Please open the Demo2.gpn file and deactivate the class, teacher and subject factors . Under “Modules | Multiple Terms | Multiple Terms”, create the new term "Term1" that should last from 03.10 to 18.12.
Now create a new lesson in this term: teacher Gauss teaches 3 periods of mathematics to class 1b.
Since the lesson is treated in the same way as lessons during the whole school year, this results in a value of 3, as you can see from the figure.
However, if you wish value calculation to take the length of the term into account, you must enter the from and to dates like a normal time limitation.
The value of the lesson is then, as usual, the product of weekly periods and time limitation factor.
