Learning Communities:
Study Career Coaches (3 or 4) and students (40 till 60) form a Learning Community.
A Learning community is a group of people who share the same goals, are actively engaged in
learning together and from one another.
Students and coaches will meet in so called “housemeetings”. Together they develop practice
related, academic related and social related activities.
2B.9 Progress test
Progress tests are a form of testing to measure the study progress and knowledge development
during the three theoretical years. The set questions in these tests reflect the level of the
programme objectives. The tests help students gain insight in the strengths and weaknesses of
their knowledge level.
The test consists of 200 questions, either true/false or multiple choice. Per study year, a
minimum number of questions from every discipline or subject have to be answered. It is
important to know that every incorrect answer will be subtracted from the total of correct
answers.
For each study year, the year norm has to be achieved. If the year norm is achieved in the first
test, you do not have to take any other tests during the year. However, we strongly recommend
taking part in all four tests so that the individual knowledge level can be monitored and
development areas identified.
The year norm is 65% of the minimum number of questions answered. It is not possible to
achieve the year norm in advance. For example it will not be possible for you to get points in
advance for the 3 rd year test while still in the 2 nd year.
