Examen Andere bepaalt 100% van het eindcijfer
Binnen de categorie Examen Andere dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
Quantitative:
Group assignment (approx. 4 students) analyse a given dataset. Its conclusions are reported through a paper of maximally 5 A4 pages in the style of a scientific research publication. On top of that, each group searches a recently published (recent 2 years) research article in their field of interest. A critical essay is written of maximally 1 A4 page where the completeness of the research methodology of the selected publication is assessed. To discriminate among group members, each group member receives 5 minutes time to discuss the primary findings of the submitted reports. The initial mark of the written report corresponds to the average of the individual marks over the group members.
Qualitative:
Permanent evaluation: reading and preparation of and presentation of research methods and discussion within the group of students. A final reflective paper is expected during the examination period.
Both parts quantitative and qualitative contribute equally to the final mark of the course.
