STUDENT AS AN EXPERT

-- If we believe that the focus of QA should be about the quality of learning, not teaching, the role played by students is inevitably important. 

-- In Finland, the students are generally regarded as experts in learning. They know how they have reached their learning outcomes and how the teaching has assisted them in this process.
-- Thus teaching should be evaluated through students’ learning experiences and based on how it actually assists the learning process.
-- Harnessing this student expertise in a concrete form includes using methods like inviting students into working groups and meetings, asking widely for their opinions, and for written statements.
-- "Treating students as experts is now a cultural expectation". --
