Group consultations as part of the course programme.

Description of the practice

One of the frequently used methods of classwork is to divide students into groups of several persons, within which tasks are carried out (e.g. weekly mini-projects or 1 – credit). Regardless of the continuity of cooperation, the possibility to consult and discuss it with the instructor is an invaluable support – both in terms of content and psychology. Students can systematise their knowledge, develop their doubts on an ongoing basis and the instructor can monitor progress.

Key elements of practice

1. top-down setting in the subject timetable of the hours devoted to consultation.
2. Openness of the lecturers and the creation of an atmosphere conducive to sharing thoughts.
3. Adequate time for each group.
