Open‑Book Assessments that Reflect Real‑World Research

Great research isn’t about memorising—it’s about thinking. That’s why we use open‑book assessments instead of classical question/answer exams. You’ll apply methods and frameworks to realistic problems, demonstrate judgment, and substantiate your reasoning with sources.

This approach mirrors professional practice, where success depends on finding, evaluating, and integrating evidence ethically and effectively. It also encourages a deeper, more durable understanding of concepts and techniques that you can immediately apply in your work.
