Medical education

In order to emphasise learning more than control, from autumn 2000 we have invited medical students to propose questions for their own written examination in family medicine. One out of three student's proposals was guaranteed to be a part of their coming written examination, possibly somewhat modified. ⋯ Encouraging students to write questions for their own examination makes them feel more confident during the examination period, and may increase their reflective learning, without seriously limiting topics studied or violating the control function of the examination.
