  abstract =     "We now and then make changes to our courses and how we
                 teach or examine them. This is often done in isolation
                 from other courses that the students take. In this
                 paper we report on experiences made in a coordinated
                 study concerning examination methods. The target group
                 was 60 students from the Systems branch of the
                 Engineering Physics study program. We changed all three
                 courses they took during the first ten weeks of the
                 spring semester 1996. The changes were in short:
                 replace the final exam by weekly assignments, introduce
                 seminars as a method of examination, and in the cases
                 where a written exam was kept, the main focus of the
                 questions were changed to showing understanding,
                 ability to analyze and synthesize. Our experiences in
                 this study clearly show that changing examination is a
                 tool for changing the way our students work, and thus
                 for improving the quality of the education.",
