Notes
- 1.
For a full description, analysis and discussion of the (rather turbulent) history of the establishment and development of the university within the broader context of higher education in Denmark at that time, it’s project pedagogy and it’s study programs, see Andersen and Heilesen (2015).
- 2.
For a thorough description of the bachelor programs at RU and their developments see Blomhøj et al. (2015).
- 3.
- 4.
This format of a project marked is discussed in details in Kjeldsen and Andersen (2015).
- 5.
The students’ project report can be downloaded from http://rudar.ruc.dk/handle/1800/24969.
- 6.
In Blomhøj and Kjeldsen (2006) we describe and analyse how problem oriented project work in mathematical modelling has been implemented on a smaller scale in upper secondary mathematics classrooms in a professional development course for high school mathematics teachers.
