 Additionally, each department object has the attributes `certificates` and `courses`. These attributes again are containers which hold certificate and course objects respectively. A :py:meth:`traverse <waeup.kofa.university.department.Department.traverse>` method leads the user to believe that `certificates` and `courses` are the ids of objects stored inside a department container. De facto they are not. However, it doesn't matter if we store a sub-object 'in' or 'at' a parent object.

-The `Course` class inherits from `grok.Model` which means it is designed as a pure model and not a container. Courses are tips of the database tree branches. Course objects contain information as they are offered by the department. In the base package these are: `code`, `title`, `credits`, `passmark`, `semester` and the boolean attribute `former_course`. They also have a `longtitle` property. A former course is an archived course which had been offered in the past.

 .. note::
 
-  Only the department, which offers the course, decides how many credits can be earned, which pass mark must be achieved and in which semester the course can be taken. The manager of the department cannot decide whether a course is mandatory or not, or at which study level the course has to be taken when studying a certain programme. This information is stored in `CertificateCourse` objects, see below. Therefore it does not make sense to speak e.g. of a 300 level course. Also course codes like ``AEE311``, which tell the student that the course is primarily intended for 300 level students, is somehow misleading. There might be other study programmes which recommend to take this course already at level 200.

-In Kofa, the terms 'certificate' and 'study programme' are used synonymously. A certificate object holds information about the study programme. Important data for further processing in Kofa are: the various school fees to be paid at certain levels, programme start and programme end level, the mode of the study course and, last but not least, the application category to which the programme belongs.

 ===================
 
+`CertificateCourse` objects point to `Course` objects which means they have a `course` attribute which is one of the course objects stored in the portal. If the course is removed, an event handler takes care of deleting also all referring certificate courses. The same happens if a course is beeing marked as former course (see above). A former course cannot be part of a curriculum.
+
+Certificate courses have to more attributes: `level` (integer) and `mandatory` (boolean). Simply put, certificate courses carry the information at which level a certain course can or has to be taken to meet the current curriculum.

+No local role can be assigned at certificate course tree level.
