Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Teacher training
German term or phrase: Sitzungsgestaltung
From the modules manual for a teacher education programme at a German university. This term and "Sitzungsprotokolle" are used repeatedly in the section on the forms of examination/performance review. Not sure what the proper equivalent would be (for UK English).

Explanation:
Based on your additional note ("type of testing/performance review section").
'Design' must surely be the least precise and most overused noun in modern English.

meeting procedure(s)


Explanation:
One of Apex’s strengths is the training that it provides young men and women in the art of meeting procedure. Meeting procedure is indeed an art. On the one hand we have the need for the business of our meetings to be concise and to the point, yet the important decisions of our meetings need to be properly considered and debated.

disagree  Steffen Walter: The times indicated in Celia's added discussion entry refer to the length of the exam/review sessions, whereas "Sitzungsgestaltung" is the topic/subject being reviewed/examined.
