New testimony: University of Bochum is based on head grades

Employers tend to choose those candidates that are reliable and on social skills. Against this background, the Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB) as the first German university from the 1.4. new product forms. They include five additional fields for "head notes". The teachers are using the RUB rectorate decision now obliged to so-called "soft skills" to evaluate their students. This pilot project, funded by the contributions of the study and with explicit vote of the students will be funded, is the re-RUB as pioneer of higher education.

New forms, trained instructors

In the competition for the best national and international jobs to the students of the RUB to stay ahead.

Secure analysis of job advertisements for graduates is well known that employers in particular, their children according to the following criteria: "ability," "team player", "dedication," "achievement motivation" and "learn". These criteria, the RUB in their new forms of testimony. At the same time, it has the extra training for teachers to give them the basis of the criteria students with grades 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. evaluate.

"Head-notes commissions" in the faculties

The CAD will not only improve the chances of their graduates, and employers should make sure that the scores for reliable findings have been. To an inflation good head notes, in some schools as usual, to avoid the RUB has therefore decided, in each faculty so-called "head-notes commissions" to form, in which both professors, teachers and representatives of the students are represented.

They supervise, inter alia, that the head grades of at least five teachers, including at least two professors, were jointly awarded.

After the great success of parents' last semester will double before the Abitur Jahrgang 2012/13 so-called Blue Letters parents of students in bachelor degree programs through poor performance of their junior warn. Background of these considerations is the fact that the shortening of the school in the future, much younger students in the universities are the universities and thus not only an education, but increasingly also an educational contract is established.

Can this be true? It's not - but it is very nice zurechtgeflunkert. As an inmate of the Ruhr-University Bochum indulged spokesman Joseph King for many years, his passion, students, professors and professional journalists in April to send. Often he chooses for his
April Fools issues haar sharply at the border between absurdity and reality.

This is the elegantly succeeded: The head note of alarm (the picture is obviously a fake photo) fits fine with the extra marks, the North Rhine-Westphalia for schoolchildren has already been introduced, despite furious
Protests. And also to the many complaints about the strong "fault" of the
Bachelor's degree. A "parents" for prospective students and their families, the Ruhr University in January actually offered to other universities to organize "family afternoon" - but the blue letters are still entirely fictitious.
