Self-assessment at Utrecht University
|
| From the Higher Education Research topic "Assessment as Educational Strategy", a study is carried out which explores to what extent self-assessment (students evaluating the quality of their own work) is already part of education at UU and how lecturers (and students) view the role of self-assessment in education. To find results, a survey was created. The anonymous survey takes approximately 10 minutes and you can enter a draw for one of three €50 bol.com vouchers. |

Game-Based learning of European Competition Law |
| To enhance the learning experience of competition law students at master's level, this project applies an innovative form of learning, namely game-based learning. Through an adaptation of the well-known Monopoly game, real-world competition law enforcement scenarios are simulated. Students can then playfully enhance their understanding of the complex principles of competition law. Curious what that looks like in practice? |
