4.2) Number of students in each course Master thesis: α = 1: β = 2; Γ = 3 Didactic methods
Clinical work = factor 5 Lab work = factor 4 Interactive collective learning situations = factor 3 Group work= factor 2 Ex cathedra = factor 1 Guidance of in-service training, online discussions =
factor 0.5
Luc François Director Ghent University Association
27
Weights of criteria/2
Research Number of enrolled doctoral students: 10 % Number of granted doctoral degrees: 60 %
Condition of at least 2 international publications, peer review
Alpha: reality: 8.5 % but 20 % of funds guaranteed Output: 30 %
