Abstract

In this paper/project we would like to look into this teaching method and sketch
some of the more general problems that might occur using open-ended
assignments and what actions could be taken. What is the autonomy of this type
of assignments and why open-ended assignments could be a good choice? We
will also try to define what you as a teacher should be aware of if using openended
assignments – how you meet you pedagogical goals.
