Attendance records

You can keep track of student attendance at lectures or seminars using the Attendance application. The recorded student attendance is then automatically transferred to a special notebook.
You can find the application via The application works only if a timetable is in place for the seminar group or lecture. The individual seminars and lectures will be displayed in three sections:

• The section "seminar groups a student in the selection has enrolled in" shows the seminars attended by students selected in the filter.
• The "lecture" section.
• The "examination dates" section shows examination dates that are created in the selected course.

By checking the seminar group/lecture and confirming the selection you will be able to edit the attendance of all students in the seminar group/lecture for the whole semester. If you want to fill in attendance for specific days of the timetable, click the "select concrete day" button and select the day or days you want to edit.

In the attendance overview table, tick the boxes for the selected students and save (you can also click on the date in the table header to tick the attendance for all students). The dates you enter will be saved in a notebook. Checking the box for a student on any date will enter "attendance" in the notebook for that seminar group/lecture, unchecked boxes will enter "non-attendance". Unticking the box for a student and a past date means that "non-attendance" will be entered in the relevant notebook. If the date of the event is in the future, nothing will be entered in the notebook for the unchecked box. If the teacher does not fill in any attendance for a date in the past, the system will evaluate that the class did not take place.

If you select the option to edit the selected seminar/lecture date, you have the option to add a student from another seminar group to the list of students (if they are replacing a class, for example). You can add a student from another seminar by selecting "Add student from another seminar group".

The notebook with attendance is automatically created with the name "attendance XY" ("prezence XY" in Czech version of the IS) i.e. "attendance" for participation in lectures. You can change the name of the notebook at will, but do not change the abbreviation of the notebook for the correct operation of the application.

AYou can find the attendance evaluation application via The application works only if a timetable is in place for the seminar group or lecture and attendance is recorded.
First, select the seminar group for which you want to evaluate attendance and set the parameters according to which attendance will be automatically evaluated, e.g. how many excused and unexcused attendance are allowed, etc. Parameters are set for each seminar group or lecture separately and can be edited later.

Based on the entered parameters, the application automatically evaluates whether the attendance requirements have been met or not. For individual students, you can automatically change the pre-calculated result.

After clicking on "Save", the result of the evaluation is saved on the last line of the corresponding attendance notebook ("total: not met *0" or "total: met *1"). You can also use the "Save the ones fulfilling requirements" option, which saves only the attendance with requirements met.

You can easily assign course grades or work with students based on their attendance. To select students with a met attendance, click on "change filter" in the Teacher's Notebook panel, click on the "selected by their attendance" filter in the menu and confirm with the "Apply filter" button. Next, specify whether you want to work with students with met, unmet or pending attendance. You can then enter grades for the students in the selection, send them a bulk email, etc.

If you want to include students from another seminar group in the selection, click on change filter and then on Advanced selection. Here, check the box to include previously selected students and select the OR operator. You then proceed in the same way as for the first selection filter.

You can also enter attendance-based grades using customized addition, see th Customized addition help section for more information.

For each seminar group and lecture you can print the attendance form for the semester.

In the header of the form is the identification of the seminar group. Below the list of students there are always a few blank lines in case a student joins the group after the sheet is printed.

The number of columns depends on the number of seminars during the semester. The system omits non-working days.

then select one or more seminar groups and select the desired printer. You can also choose from advanced print settings. You can also download the attendance form in the available formats to your computer.

In the application

it is possible to record attendance by reading student smart card identifiers or automatically from the access point passage records, i.e. by "beeping" at the reading device outside the classroom door or at a portable smart card reader.

Detailed procedure for a portable smart card reader.

• The teacher first plugs the smart card reader into the PC. The USB input can also be on the side of the monitor.
• After logging into the MU IS, the teacher selects the course in which he/she wants to edit attendance in the Teacher section and selects the application "Record attendance using smart cards".

  

• In the application, the teacher selects whether to enter attendance for individual seminars or for the entire lecture and selects the correct date:

  

• After selecting the correct date, you need to start loading the individual smart cards in the "Smart card identifier" section. Just click in the field for entering the identifiers and then students can start attaching their ISIC cards to the card reader one by one. One by one, their card code is then loaded into the field.

  

• Once all the smart cards have been loaded, you need to click on "Import". Then a list of all students in the course will be shown and there is a checkbox for each student. A student who has beeped their ISIC will have a check mark in the box and one who has not beeped will have the box blank. This is the point at which a teacher can also manually mark the attendance of a student who came in but did not have an ISIC.
• After checking the created attendance list, the teacher can save it at the bottom of the page.

  

After the attendance is saved, attendance is entered for those who were checked off the list and non-attendance for those who were not. This will be added to the notebook.

In the application

it is possible to enter individual attendance to students who are late for class and did not beep their ISIC card at the beginning.

In the application, you need to select a specific day for the correct seminar or lecture in which the student’s attendace is to be entered:

The teacher will see a list of students who have beeped their ISIC card for attendance. In this list it is possible to track the student and check the box that the person's attendance should be recognized and then save the modified list.

If there are changes in the number of students in seminar groups during the semester, use the

Validation will cause students who have moved to a different seminar group during the semester to move to the correct notebook. The application also allows you to remove from the attendance record students who have opted out of seminar groups but have not enrolled in elsewhere.

If you wish to remove a student whose study has been terminated, you must do so by validating the appropriate notebook.
