The primary objective of our course as a whole is to support, facilitate and enhance students’ learning. Giving students qualitative and specific information on what they achieve (output) and how they accomplish these achievements (process) is a very powerful tool to enable this. That is why we do not give grades: grades only say how much a student learns, but does not say anything about the what and how. Instead, students get verbal as well as written feedback on their process and outcomes of learning activities, and on the development of their overall competence of designing over a semester as a whole: an assessment of learning and for learning.

In this “Feedback and assessment” section there is more elaborate information on verbal and written feedback, and on all assessment-related aspects, content-wise as well as procedural. This also includes aspects such as the showcase, a graduation cum laude or the binding study advice (BSA).
