Deutsch term

Kohorte

Deutsch > Englisch Sonstige Bildungswesen/Pädagogik
It's talking about a model representing preparation time etc of professors. I think Kohorte may be Swiss German.

Die Problematik die sich bei der Erhebung gezeigt hat, ist in erster Linie auf die Uneinigkeit der Dozierenden zurückzuführen, wie eine optimale Kohorte für die verschiedenen Veranstaltungsformen auszusehen habe und in zweiter Linie auf die grosse Individualität der Dozierenden, welche sehr unterschiedliche Vorbereitungs-, Betreuungs- und Korrekturzeiten angeben. Diese Phänomene äussern sich in einer sehr hohen Standardabweichung.

agree Slindon : 'Kohorte' is very common in German sociology texts and is usually tranlated by 'cohort', which in English sociology texts is roughly defined as" any group of people with a time-specifric common experience". It may well fit in your case.

(here) how the staff should best be put together

I am sticking my neck out here, hence the low CL, however this is my interpretation of how the term in used in this context (=Zusammensetzung der Gruppe)
Peer comment(s):

agree Michele Johnson : Definitely. I don't think cohorts works well in English here. Possibly something like "how best to assign courses" or "ideal course assignments", i.e. who gets stuck teaching what.
