We want to give students every opportunity to study in depth and really learn. Studying should be challenging, but also rewarding. If, within the limits of what is required of you in your programme, you are able to choose your own path and working method, this can contribute not only to your academic success, but also to the way you experience the journey towards it. It is, therefore, important not to patronise students, but to give them more autonomy over their own study process. In this context, continuous assessment has sometimes gone too far. This can lead to additional organisational concerns, especially when combined with group work (often in constantly changing compositions). We will encourage programmes to evaluate at a programme level which assessments are necessary during the semester and which are best placed in the exam period, but also whether group work is appropriate in all circumstances to teach the intended skills.
