Thanks to the extended library opening times (from 17:00 to 21:00) to learn there are actually more ago. Towards the end, when everything is nice and quiet and relaxed, just sitting at each table a / a student is taught to the roof terrace at sunset, one can almost speak of university chill character.
After two months are now the first results from Personnel Psychology come. Although common, but with a 3 looks forward to each other 4 or 5 of the other (over 100 are still pending) so that your own performance then slides over the average. And it is annoyed by those who already have a second or third time and had begun leading to a better grade. When calculating the grade point average multiple attempts at the test does not count.
the fight for Seminar's are heated up.
came across a thesis, the results of interviews with 40 students (table 20 Austria, 20 German) are published
As to the selection pressure statements came as this:
"It is of course a work pressure among the students, ie a competition, that is so who is better now, and whoever comes in which seminars, and pah what you have for music. I mean, for me would always have been the university, even after you go out of the auditorium and discussed more about what you have learned now. And now it is simply that, you complain that you have now heard so much again, and you can learn niemlas. It is simply not true that you ask, oh what you heard or learned in class, but you will more likely ask, and what have you so for a note? Are you in the seminar come in? Since you just do not know what is now meant well, as interest in the opposite, or if the competition is more likely Sun That's never been entirely transparent. "
" Since there is almost existential anxiety for some, that is really pure panic. Will I still get my diploma. So we have set a time where we need to do it, and we are just too many. And then you get no course, is in no seminar wait more pure, must. Which of course again extended the time that you need until you are ready, and as things are heated, yes. "
" and above all, it is always like that, Oh God, the master! And since you have such and such a note have and wants to have any uh Masters course, can not know. "
" Even through this mass assessment, it is then again so that then, as in the school, which is only there to judge me, and uh impart the knowledge is again more in the background, but, I must test, manage again because I have to create a good note, because it is so important because it is the only one where you can succeed again. "
The undergraduate student states," a selection of very high pressure is perceived pressure to perform by competition experience, and not by performance requirement. This is not the fear of the power requirements not to focus enough to be special the fear worse than colleagues, and sorted out so to be "
fact, surprising that the atmosphere is considered among the students in still rated relatively well:
2 votes (German students) for". very good "
9 German, 5 Austrian votes for" good "
4 deutschhe, 10 Austrian votes for" mediocre "
3 German, 2 Austrian votes for" bad "
