Abstract: The study analyzes statistically how course performance is influenced by study activity and individual background factors. Some students attend external exam training courses, and it is analyzed how participation in such courses influences grading. The analysis shows some unexpected results, which may serve as student recommendations in terms of choosing personal learning strategy, depending on one’s individual background. Not surprisingly, strong entrance qualifications and class participation and preparation have a strong positive effect on grading performance. More surprisingly, student satisfaction with course and teacher has no significant influence on grades, and participation in exam training courses seems to have a directly negative impact on exam performance.

The Case of Copenhagen Business SchoolStenvinkel Nilsson, Ole (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Program QA at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) faces two major challenges; (1) large number of different programs, and (2) decentralized organisation of the program area. CBS has more than 60 programs in the portfolio, each managed by an autonomous Study Board. The paper demonstrates how CBS has addressed these challenges in a quality policy based on two main elements. Standards and Guidelines for day to day quality operations are combined with recurrent 5 year cycle peer reviews of every program. It is demonstrated how optimal use of existing information from various sources can be combined to provide a parsimonious picture of program performance, without putting too much burden on program managers. Both external and internal peer reviewers are used in order to create dialogue, mutual inspiration, increased alignment across programs, and balance between formative development and summative assessment. Early experiences with implementation of the QA system are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8517 Files in this item: 1

Evidence from Copenhagen Business SchoolRovio-Johansson, Airi; Stenvinkel Nilsson, Ole (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In three decades Higher Education Institutions have experienced decreasing trust and increasing demands of accountability from society. The aim is to explore how assessments of departments’ research activities can contribute to improvement of research organization, research culture and credibility. The empirical study is based on reports from two assessment rounds of nine research departments, in 1994 to 2007. Qualitative statements and recom-menda¬tions are transformed to relative quantifiable performance measures on ten different dimensions in order to study development over time and analysis of departments´ variation. Results indicate significant improvement among some departments while others have not managed to such extent. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8201 Files in this item: 1
