Lectures, in which students prepare the material of the last course and prepare and present parts of the material of the current course, can be used to conduct examinations that fulfil the requirements of an examination in various respects.

Students are given the task of introducing a course with a (short) presentation. In this, they present the material from the last course and reflect on it from different perspectives depending on the task. They can then use this to introduce the topic of the current lecture and present the content.
The presentation can ultimately lead to a moderation or co-moderation with the teacher. The sum of the student's contribution is finally assessed as an examination performance.

Problem

Solutions

General conditions

Can be used in various forms of courses such as lectures, seminars and tutorials.

The type of task for this form of examination performance must be weighed up according to the size of the plenum.

Consequences

Students have the opportunity to actively participate in and influence the organisation of courses. They get to know the teacher's perspective and practise various techniques for presenting, lecturing and moderating.

The examination can be agreed individually with the student (e.g. proportion of lecture, media presentation, script/written work, moderation/co-moderation) and thus caters for different types of learning and examination.

As with all examinations, the prerequisites are a clear definition of the task, definition of the scope and transparent presentation of the assessment standard.

The lecturer can formulate this form of examination as an offer. Experience shows that this form of examination is not suitable for all students and therefore does not always bring the desired examination success and added value for the course.
