Group Examinations reintroduced in a new form

Group Examinations reintroduced in a new form

Five years ago abolished the possibility of going to gruppeeksamen at universities, but with the recent political signals it is expected that the possibility be restored. The condition would be that there is an interdisciplinary project where gruppeeksamen is particularly justified. Faculty of Social Sciences at Aalborg University is now taking a practical and business-oriented initiative in this regard.
The faculty dean, Hanne Kathrine Krogstrup, says: "We have at Aalborg University always been among the leaders when it comes to creating opportunity for teamwork across disciplines. It is very much such interdisciplinary knowledge, Denmark's economy. Interdisciplinary includes firstly the work of researchers, and providing new opportunities for interdisciplinary gruppeeksamen we will also be able to create better practical opportunity for interdisciplinary Already during my studies at Aalborg University. " "One of the most obvious places to start would be to call for teamwork between auditor graduate students and Jurassic and business law students. In practical life there are many tasks in a business that requires close cooperation between the accountant and lawyer, and we will teach the students who feel like it, such cooperation already while writing your thesis, "says professor, dr. jur. Erik Werlauff from Accountant Master's program at Aalborg University. Group work at AAU as obvious examples of how these new opportunities can benefit the students at Aalborg University for good, he mentions that the tasks associated with business transformation, stock options to employees, structural changes, mergers and acquisitions and many complex contracts require an interaction between the auditor and lawyer and this will Aalborg University to train the students. "the auditor Graduate study and Jura and corporate law school will draw up a catalog of ideas to the students," continues Erik Werlauff. "In the catalog, the students some practical and challenging ideas for topics that require teamwork between accountant and lawyer. Then, for example. one auditor and a law student jointly develop their thesis and defend it together at the exam table. " Dean Hanne Kathrine Krogstrup underlines that it previously must be such that there is an individual assessment of each student's performance. So there are no students who can hide behind another student's work. She continues: "The interdisciplinary approach, we will now be able to offer at Aalborg University, fits perfectly with the corps that we have. We have many examiners from practical life, including lawyers, accountants and company lawyers. "" We firmly believe that the censors could appreciate the interdisciplinary thesis projects, and when the students come from Aalborg University with their diploma in hand, they will therefore already be well trained interdisciplinary cooperation required of them in practical life, "concludes Dean Hanne Kathrine Krogstrup.
