Study Success OV Meeting

Dear Students,

Last Monday we met with the new interim dean of our faculty Eric Fisher and presented him with the evaluation of our research regarding how to increase the percentage of students passing their exams. We had quite a controversial talk since from the teacher side the main suggestion is to cut on re-sits. We countered this and finally reached the conclusion that overall more bonus systems and partial grades have to be implemented (especially in hard courses such as Statistics and Mathematics).

In our archive you may find the evaluation of our research under “Other”. This paper will also be handled as part of a new faculty working group that will come up with a complete new course structure to guarantee that students are given the right chances to study successfuly.

Thanks again to all who answered our questionnaire! We will keep you updated about upcoming topics and also keep working on study success!

Your

FSR FEB
