11. How we do that 136 courses in total + elective courses from University
102 courses with laboratory or other practical work
Continuous assessment (several tests throughout the year for every course)
In February, June-July and September final exams for less successfull students
For every test throughout the year additional/reserve date is given (because of lot of afternoon hours in labs)
Elder students can join to exams in the same time as students of actual study year

12. Undergraduate and Graduate studies
Mentors (5-7 students from one generation per mentor) (PhD stuff only – assist. prof., assoc. prof. and prof.)
Meetings with Vice dean for education (2-3 hours each semester)
Student’s representatives
The best Students office at University of Osijek in 2005/06. academic year (it was first year of Bologna process implementation)
In next evaluation we expect better results 

13. Labs over 30% of total working hours

14. Strong orientation to practical work in labs and industry

15. Free access to databases

17. Results after first two years
all students with mean mark 4.0 or bigger have ensured schoolarship (we have more shoolarships than successfull students ?!)
50% of students passed 1st year of study
50% of students passed 2nd year of study
75% of students, after finishing Undergraduate study, will choose Graduate study at Faculty of Food Technology Osijek (we ask them)

18. Results after 2-3 years
Mean mark after 1st year of study is almost the same as mean mark from High school was
Mean mark after 2nd year of study is for 10% higher than mean mark after 1st year of study was
In 2nd generation the mean mark after 1st and 2nd year of study is for 10% higher than mean mark in previous generation
But, it seems that students’ knowledge is a little bit wider but not so deep as before
Students become better in recognizing but not in solving problems

19. Results after 2-3 years Possible future improvements:
joint study programmes with relevant partners
more team work during study
stronger understanding of ecological and economical aspects of particular technological operation and process
additional increasing of connectivity among different courses
deeper involment in solving real technological problems
improving technical writting
more practical work in industry
