The exam content did not match the course content. The exam was way too difficult.

This exam had questions with content that wasn’t handled at all or only a fraction of the bigger picture. Too much detail for an macro economics exam is almost ironic.

Luca Holl (Utrecht, 2022-04-14)

I think the exam was not consistent with the provided material and we didn’t have enough time.

I fully agree with the statement that the exam was inadequately difficult

I agree and it were so many questions it was not possible to write a decent answer within the lime limit

The exams was to difficult, it was nothing like previous exams. And there were questions about the project, which we didn’t prepared as second years students

Hugo Lokhorst (Utrecht, 2022-04-14)

Way too hard, questions were very unclear too

Question about your own conclusion from assignment cant be wrong, Just as your advice to ECB if you litteraly interpret the question

The final exam of macroeconomics, a European perspective was not fitting the level of the master of macroeconomics for a fist year student. Also the curse failed completely at preparatory us for it as the questions weren’t similar to any practice and their structure was confusing. Time remaining for the exam was 2 hours, 1 hour less than last years for the same content.

The exam was too hard to be able to answer all the questions right, eventhough you studied hard.

I don't think the exam evaluated our knowledge and the skills learned but only our memorization of specific details.

Micaela Palacios Dalenz (Utrecht, 2022-04-14)

#71

Im signing because i don't think the exam tested the skills and knowledge we got in the course but focused on memorizing information

Mariagrazia Palacios (Utrecht, 2022-04-14)

I am signing because the exam for Macroeconomics a European perspective was in my opinion an inadequate way of testing our knowledge about the subject.

Alieson Schofield (Utrecht, 2022-04-14)

the empirical question was unreasonable, i made the projects every week and the "ratio" is unclear as hell.

Armin van de Water (Utrecht, 2022-04-14)

This exam was not what i should be

Jorim Laanstra (Ede, 2022-04-14)

Because the exam for macro was insane.

I'm a student and the exam was too hard in my opinion

Erik Shin (Wassenaar, 2022-04-14)

I’m signing because the Macroeconomics endterm was unreasonable difficult, question differed from the material needed to study and question were quite vaguely described.

Jord Wennekink (Utrecht, 2022-04-14)

#95

The time we were given to answer that amount of questions is unacceptable.

C M (Utrecht, 2022-04-14)

I really found this exam to be extremely tough and unfair since what was taught in class videos and lectures were totally different

The test was too hard, it asked thing we should should not have to know.

Previous exams from the year 2021 and 2020 were given to students as practice material, the correction keys of these exams had numerous mistakes in the correction models; something that should not be accepted at university level education. As a consequence, most students were confused about the end-material and made mistakes in the actual end-term of 2022. Additionally, the 2022 end-term questions were often poorly formulated or had little to no relevant relation to the material discussed in the MACRO course. To finalise, I (a student) suggest a normal distribution for the end-term grading scheme, as the expected results of the grades are very poor (changing the grading factor accordingly).

Not reasonable

Need to down the passing bar please. There was not enough time to properly answer .

I'm a repeater, and even though it was explicitly stated prior to the exam that it wouldn't contain any questions on the content discussed during the empirical project, as I didn't attend those. However, questions like that did appear in the exam and thus should be removed from consideration.

Alicia Garrido (Utrecht, 2022-04-14)

The questions were too difficult, even when all provided material was studied well

Isabelle Heikoop (Utrecht, 2022-04-14)

Exam was way too hard, not the same as other endterms and articles where not clear.

Martijn Lauwers (Nuenen, 2022-04-14)

#121

Way too hard. Not the same level as other endterms from previous years. And articles were way too vague

The amount of questions was inadequate for the time

R K (Utrecht , 2022-04-14)

I’m signing this because the exam was actually not a doable exam at all even if studied a lot.

Many students have put a lot of effor for the past 9weeks and ending it with a very difficult exam….

There were no questions asked about the bigger topics, what we spent a lot of time on during the tutorials. It was supposed to be apparently exam of 1-9 weeks but I truly couldn’t relate to it

It was way more difficult than last years open book exams and the exam was not at all representative of the older exams.

The performance of many students has been very bad in this exam, and I hope there will be some leniency in the grading

I am of the opinion that the Macroeconomics a European Perspective endterm was inadequately difficult and therefore the unconventional degree of difficulty should be reflected into the correction model

Mitchell Ter Bogt (Amsterdam, 2022-04-15)

#190

Some of the questions did not reflect the course content. Why add extra literature for the exam when there is plenty? There were also a lot of inadequate questions like the one pointing towards a specific graph from the CORE textbook, or the question about the empirical projects, which is completely wrong for second year students. A lot of questions were also opinion-based and I am afraid that the grading scale will not be inclusive at all.

Ivo Sokolov (Utrecht, 2022-04-15)

Exam was way more difficult than previous exams and some questions did not match the content we were taught. Not the first time this year!
