German term or phrase: geordneter Unterricht
Hi Everyone,

This is also from a Studienvertrag for an MBA program in English for Chinese students in Germany:

Sie/er (die/der Studierende) wird insbesondere die im Rahmen der Ausbildung oder im Interesse eines geordneten Unterrichts der Business School notwendigen Regelungen und Anordnungen der Leitung, der Dozenten oder anderer von der Business School beauftragter Personen befolgen und die Ordnung der Universität Magdeburg einhalten.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

smooth running of classes
Explanation:
"...to ensure the smooth running of classes" or something to the effect.

Just came up against this, but the other way round - from English to German. I think it's a really natural expression in English that you could easily use in a context such as this.

Many thanks to all for the useful suggestions. It was a difficult choice between this response and "orderly instruction", which seems very common in the US.

agree  Andrew Swift: User-friendly wording. This appeals to the better side of human nature. Any reference to 'orderly' or 'instruction' would get student hackles up.
