Question:

How are the Project Weeks graded?

(Last edited: Monday, 18 September 2023, 1:52 PM)
Answer:

If you successfully attend and pass a project week, you should see the grade in Osiris as 1. Similarly if you pass 2 project weeks, you will see a grade of 2. If you attended 3 project weeks and you do not see it graded as 3 then that means that you failed your third project week. 

You should also refer to the comments given by the Project Week supervisor in your report submitted in the TurnitIn area as they give you a clarity if you have been passed or failed. 

Please note that you are not given a grade but rather a count of how many project weeks you have passed.

Question:

How can I check the AI percentage in Type 2 exam submission?

(Last edited: Wednesday, 28 June 2023, 3:59 PM)
Answer:

For the time being only the examiners can see the AI similarity percentage via Turnitin, which we think Turnitin may  make available to students in the future; yet it is their decision.

Question:

How do I know if I am eligible to take the MEEs?

(Last edited: Monday, 3 July 2023, 11:09 AM)
Answer:

Students are eligible to take the MEEs if they:

o  started their programmes at Wittenborg in block 1 or block 2 for the academic year 2022-2023 and

o  have completed and passed at least 80% of the modules in phase 1. (i.e. out of the 19 modules, students must have completed and passed at least 15 modules). Students who are not eligible yet may take the exams during the next opportunity.

o Bachelor students who started their programmes earlier than September 2022 may also opt to take this exam if they have completed at least 80% of the modules in Phase 1.

o Master students who wish to take this exam must have completed and passed all their modules except for GA/FP.


Question:

How is my paper graded in regard to the AI usage?

(Last edited: Wednesday, 28 June 2023, 3:57 PM)
Answer:

Assignments with AI similarity of up to 3% will be checked by examiners to investigate if there is any attempt of Academic Misconduct. If none is found, the assignments will be assessed as per the standard procedure. In cases where examiners/moderators have doubts on the originality of the work, they may request students to:

  • Write a paragraph of text on the same module in front of the teacher;
  • Conduct a question and answer session;
In order to be able to conclude an outcome for the student work.

Take note that WUAS is not discouraging the use of AI tools (such as ChatGPT) for learning purposes. Nonetheless, misuse of such tools will be considered Academic Misconduct.

Question:

What is MEEs?

(Last edited: Monday, 3 July 2023, 11:04 AM)
Answer:

Starting from the academic year 2022-2023, all new students starting their programmes at Wittenborg will not only follow normal assessments that lead to European Credits, but will also be required to complete a Multidisciplinary (phase) Exit Exams (MEEs) at the end of each learning phase. This means that for bachelor’s students, there will be an MEE at the end of phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3. For Master’s students, the MEE is at the end of semester 2. The MEEs are compulsory and must be completed in order to graduate.

Why MEE?

The rationale of having the MEE is to monitor and evaluate the progress of WUAS students from a more comprehensive and in-depth perspective. This new assessment will enable students to better evaluate their educational progress as well as the development of competencies required to become business administrators and managers. A good performance will make graduates stand out in the eyes of employers. It is an assessment that students must pass to complete a course and be promoted to the next phase. It is a way to maintain graduation standards, assurance of learning and quality of retained knowledge and skills. This exam is important as it can ensure that WUAS students meet educational standards. In return, it can also influence educational policy at WUAS
