| Apr 10 at 18:06 | comment | added | user186606 | @TheDoctor I believe the people that hold this view have an issue not with doing the thesis abroad but with doing coursework abroad (i.e., taking exams in a different university with a different grading system, perhaps with a higher rate of grade inflation). At any rate, that was not the focus of my question. | |
| Apr 10 at 16:44 | comment | added | wimi | @EarlGrey I would say "harder exams" are the ones that promote deep thinking. I have seen the difference between "deep thinking" and "fast regurgitation" exams in different universities in Europe... the ones that promote deep thinking are harder. | |
| Apr 10 at 16:21 | comment | added | The Doctor | it tends to be seen as a "way out" of harder exams etc: I don't understand this, my experience with Erasmus+ students is that they undergo the same evaluation as their colleagues that didn't enrol in the program: deliver a master thesis and a public defense, as these are university requirements for graduation. | |

| Apr 10 at 15:52 | comment | added | EarlGrey | "Most of the academics I have spoken to" You have found a subset of extremely narrow-minded academics. From a strictly academic viewpoint, harder exams are absolute bullshit: they favor selective mnemonic learning (of topics and possibly of past exams) to pass the "hard" exams, rather than promoting deep thinking (which was achieved with exams having one year of lecture, which is impossible in the current scheme of things). | |
