During the exam of Motivation and Emotion, many people struggled to stay within the word limit while trying to give a good and detailed answer. This issue was further enhanced by the nature of some questions, as they were asked in a very broad and vague manner, leading students to try and connect many tasks. We only learned afterwards that this given number of words would be handled as a strict cut-off point. This very low word limit in combination with lack of clear communication about such a strict cut-off procedure feels very unfair to us. Therefore, we ask for re-evaluation.
