Courses

Courses in Artemis contain exercises, exams, and lectures. As a student, you can enroll in courses, access learning materials, and track your progress.

Enrollment​

If the instructor has enabled student enrollment, you can enroll in a course directly from the Overview page. Navigate to the course and click the Course Enrollment button in the upper right corner. A confirmation message may appear depending on the course configuration.

Some courses may have prerequisites, i.e. competencies you should have mastered before enrolling. You can view these prerequisites before enrolling by clicking the prerequisites button next to the course.

Course Enrollment

My Courses​

After enrolling, your courses appear on the My Courses page. Each course card shows:

  • The course title and a notification badge for unread messages
  • Your current score and a progress chart showing achieved vs. missing points
  • The next upcoming exercise you should work on

You can search courses by title and sort them alphabetically. If you have more than five courses, they are automatically grouped into Recently Accessed and Other Courses sections.

If you have an upcoming exam in any course, a prominent banner appears at the top of the page with the exam details.

Course Sidebar​

Once you open a course, the left sidebar provides navigation to all course content. The available items depend on your course's configuration and may include:

  • Dashboard: Shows your overall performance with a progress bar of achieved vs. reachable points, a chart comparing your exercise scores to the class average, and a visualization of how early or late you submitted relative to other students.
  • Exercises: Lists all course exercises organized by time period (future, due soon, current, past). Click on an exercise to view its problem statement, submit your solution, and review feedback.
  • Lectures: Access lecture slides, videos, and attachments. Lecture units can be linked to competencies so you can see how they connect to the course learning objectives.
  • Exams: View upcoming and past exams. From here you can participate in exams during the exam window and review your results and grades after the exam has been assessed.
  • Communication: Post questions, participate in discussions, and receive announcements through course channels. You can also send direct messages to other course participants.
  • Tutorial Groups: View your enrolled tutorial groups and browse other available groups. Each group page shows the schedule with all upcoming and past sessions.
  • Competencies: Track your progress and mastery across the course's learning objectives. Each competency shows linked exercises and lectures so you know what to work on.
  • Learning Path: Receive personalized recommendations on which lecture units to study and which exercises to attempt next, based on your current progress and competency mastery.
  • Training: Practice quiz questions in a spaced-repetition training mode outside of graded exercises. Earn points and advance through leagues as you answer correctly.
  • Statistics: View your personal performance analytics including a donut chart of overall points, a line chart comparing your scores to the course average, and a breakdown of points per exercise type.
  • Calendar: See all exercise deadlines, lecture dates, and course events in a calendar view so you can plan your workload.
  • FAQ: Browse frequently asked questions curated by the course instructors.
  • Iris: Get help from the AI tutor. Iris can answer questions about programming exercises, text exercises, and lecture content, and is also available as a course-wide chat assistant.
  • Settings: Configure your notification preferences. Choose a preset or customize which notification types you receive through web, email, or push channels.

You can collapse the sidebar to icon-only mode using Ctrl+M or the toggle button. The course icon at the top of the sidebar also serves as a course switcher, letting you quickly navigate between recently accessed courses.

Unenrollment​

If your instructor has enabled unenrollment, you can leave a course through the sidebar. The unenrollment option is available until the configured end date.

To unenroll, you must type the exact course title to confirm. Be aware that depending on the enrollment settings, you may or may not be able to re-enroll after leaving.

Course Archive​

Courses from previous semesters are available in the Course Archive, accessible from the bottom of the My Courses page. Archived courses are grouped by semester and can be searched and sorted.

Course Settings​

Each course has a Settings page (accessible from the sidebar) where you can configure your notification preferences. You can choose a preset (e.g., "All notifications" or "Only important") or customize which notification types you receive and through which channels (web, email, or push).

A quick-access notification preset picker is also available directly in the course header bar.
