• An educational specialist from ÖGEM visits your classroom in the scheduled time and date.
• After you leave the class, the specialist informs the students about the mid-semester evaluation and gives information about the application.
• If the class is composed of few number of students, then the discussion is done as a whole class. When the class is crowded, the ÖGEM specialist chooses a few students to conduct the discussion and asks the other students to leave the classroom.
• Students are expected to read all questions in the Small Group Discussion Form and they are given a certain time to think about their responses.
• Students discuss their own answers on each of the questions.
• The student responses are noted down by the specialist and she/he shares the feedback with the faculty after the course.
• The application lasts approximately 20-25 minutes.
