The modules are crazy.

Are bachelor and master total botch? The nuclear physicist Joachim Enders, the anti-Bologna Genörgel tired and colleagues countered: There are the professors themselves, the study design. You could Rumpel wiser to implement reform - if only they wanted to. A counter-speech.

 

Since we have the eternal whiners Bologna, especially Mr Marius Reiser, again correctly shown: Bachelor and Master are botch. Moreover, the world is bad, and we are all powerless in the clutches of bureaucracy and the apparatchiks shipped to us to force our last spark of creativity aufzuopfern, on the altar of the total formal study of the modern and of quality. Mr Reiser is therefore even his
Job hinwerfen so tired he has the manipulation by the university bureaucrats. Chapeau.

But maybe it's not entirely so: I agree that much improvement on the German implementation of the
Bologna process, and that we are truly a bureaucratisation of the universities have to do. But one thing we must not forget: In particular, the professors of German universities can be very much involved themselves - or rather could.

Unfortunately, often the commitment of those professors in the design is missing, the whole process from the outset as a "botch" discarded. Some of the strongest research and teaching university lecturers have 'better to do ", as in the study plan design their fingers dirty.

Everywhere in the bodies sit Professors

One can certainly excellent philosophize about what the child mind Bologna reforms are and how strong they are by economic and industrial processes, even influenced by neoliberal ideas are - but ultimately can be a bachelor's master's programs themselves. Thus in the context of university professor at any government influence on the real implementation of the Bologna process in its own compartment and at the university's own take.

THE ANTI-BACHELOR

"Everything botch," says Mainzer theology professor Marius Reiser on the Bologna reforms in German universities. Frustrated, he wants to completely give up his professorship. In the interview UNIblogs Reiser said, why the end is near the universities. more ...

We need not discuss that in many of the Bachelor of subjects only way and not the goal can be. It will not hurt, the calm of the policy again and again to explain. This means that universities and colleges, even after Bologna quite different profiles may have.

The university councils are the representatives of all groups at the universities chosen, they are working with committees on the introduction of Bachelor and Master courses in which professors sit again. Last but not least, the experts group of the accreditation agencies also with professors and students of the affected subjects filled. Concern is that the professors from the formalisms to them by policy and pre-accreditation committees are occasionally caught very well to take leave.

We are not forced to have even the smallest module several exam to write. Homework and active participation, contributions may also be appropriate forms of examination. Some lines allow higher das Not every homework assignment, not every internship, not every course must be directly in the final entries.

Nobody forces us to thumb screws

You can create attractive elective areas, the student self-directed and structured but allow for studying. Often, the study such that all details are strictly regulated. This leads to dramatic short half-life of these regulations.

Who sits at the contact points for stays abroad? Lecturers and university staff. With a number of partner universities usually can easily be an acceptable plan will be elaborated in which the students during a semester abroad to follow.

Of course, that the examination is not everything and not überreglementieren each sub-chapter of the national lecture scripts from the foreign students require. Such thumb screws for foreign students wishing nobody is forcing us.

If one of the students expected to participate in the new courses
not only 'credits include ", then the bodies will not do. Often universities also give restrictive rules for the recognition of unrelated services, such as a university exchange. This can be safely or to remove, so you have not already, do not introduce.

Tackle, not whinge

In the wake of the Bologna reforms is also a lot of quality of speech. That so little is required, the past has often enough demonstrated. A degree course that is not enough capacity for placements vorhält, is not accredited because it ausbremst successful students. Seminars with several hundred participants are unreasonable.

Quality assurance is therefore needed, but shall in no case, even indirectly, to the detriment of the facilities and faculties of the subjects, because otherwise the quality suffers. The university councils and the bodies involved must therefore act with circumspection. This means that the persons who are in university and accreditation exaggerated to formalization, documentation and quality assurance responsibilities, also clearly contradictory to speak - not with a fundamental refusal of the narrow-minded attitude and world view that botch everything anyway, but with arguments, visions, and good counter examples.

So: There is still much rotten in the state Bologna German nation, but these problems are also homemade. We can be a part of the process influence - if you doubt for even a bit of work needs to spend. We are not whining anymore, but let's at.
