Traditional universities rely heavily on examinations, even though universities own research shows that exams are amongst the least effective method for teaching and retaining knowledge. According to Harvard Professor, Derek Bok “Although 99 percent of professors consider critical thinking an “essential” or “very important” goal of a college education, fewer than 20 percent of the exam questions actually tested for this skill”.
Instead, your degree will have no exams, but formal project based assessments that are tailored and integrated into each student’s job, career and personal passions. Assessment is articulated through solution finding, improvisation, interrogation, interaction, integration and imagination all of which shape change. These assessments are then graded by qualified academics from around the world. The result is a better learning outcome, while students are less anxious.
