GOING THE EXTRA MILE

ELECTION PROGRAMME 2014 – 2015 FRACTIE FRONT 1

In front of you lies a copy of the election

program from Fractie Front 2014/15 and

you can find our targets for upcoming

year.

Our program is composed of our three

main areas of interest, these are: The

Active Student, Internationalization and

Communication. Fractie Front’s founding

vision: ‘Going the Extra Mile’, is the overall

goal that is kept in mind. It is of great

importance that students develop

themselves and that they take themselves

(and others) to the next level. With these

main interests, we want to make it

possible for students to experience a

suburb student time the way that they

want to.

We have written this election program with

the aid of several student representatives

of associations. Amongst others, previous

party members and so-called list pushers

have contributed, additionally we’ve

received enormous feedback during the

Algemene Studenten Vergadering

(General Students Meeting) and the

International Meeting. Thanks to the

contribution from all these students,

Fractie Front has realized a broad election

program that is based on the opinion of a

lot of different students.

The three main goals, as mentioned

above, are the Active Student,

Internationalisation and Communication.

These pillars are well connected to the

slogan of Tilburg University:

“Understanding Society”.

Front has always strong believed that self-

development of the student is of great

importance, which not only contributes to

the development of the student, but also to

the development of the university and the

student life of the city Tilburg. Fractie Front

wants Tilburg University to stimulate this

development by motivating students to get

experiences besides the education. By

doing this, students contribute to the

society; where Tilburg University should

take a pro-active position.

Because of globalisation, the exchange of

knowledge, students and teachers

increases every year. The society is not

just the Netherlands, the whole world has

become our society. Tilburg University has

to give the opportunity to students to

develop themselves as world citizens.

“Understanding society” is especially very

important for the communication between

Tilburg University and their students. The

student has to be aware about the

developments within the University and be

aware about all the facilities available.

Experience is a new point in the election

programme. Fractie Front wants students

to feel more involved with the university.

By doing this, it becomes more attractive

for students to go to our university. This

contributes to the social aspect of

studying, additionally, it also offers more

THE ACTIVE STUDENT Going the extra mile. By being active

besides your study, you will not only

create a better career path for yourself, but

also boost your environment.

Become Active Tilburg (Word actief

Tilburg)

Fractie Front supports this commission in

their campaign. The campaign aims at

informing students about the possibilities

and benefits of become active besides

your study.

Integration “being active besides studying”

in an information system

The university should provide students

with extensive information on the benefits

and possibilities of being active besides

their studies.

Introducing several pilot study days

Future&students&will&get&a&better&view&of&

Tilburg&as&a&student&city&by&letting&them&

attend&to&night&programs&during&the&

introduction&days.&

Improving soft skills training

By enhancing soft-skills (like presenting,

negotiating and collaboration) students will

be better prepared for the labor market.

Realizing more video lectures

Video lectures will give students more

flexibility and more a more effective use of

their time.

Get rid of mandatory lectures

The responsibility of attending lectures lies

with the students themselves. Front is

therefore against mandatory lectures.

Promotion of student workplaces

Lots of students are not aware of all the

available workplaces at the university. The

university has to promote the workplaces

and make them more visible.

No further increase of and/or demands for

the binding study advice

Fractie Front is against the BSA in the

second and third year of the bachelor.

Furthermore we’re also against additional

demands for the BSA.

Possibility for every student to attend any

course

Students should have the opportunity to

attend courses within as well the

curriculum without hindrance.

INTERNATIONALIZATION Understanding society is pointed

towards the global perspective of the

university. Tilburg University has to

4 EL


develop the international orientation of

their students.

Support for the development English

language skills

Front wants to help students with the

development of their English skills by

giving them tailor-made advice on what

is necessary to increase their level of

expertice.

Improving the level of English of

lecturers

It is important that the quality of English

of the lecturer is kept high. The

university should test this and regularly

check it.

Increasing number of classes and

improving the flow to higher level

language course

The university has to ensure that enough

spots in language courses are provided.

Also, Front wants to offer the possibility

to take follow-up courses without

needing to pay a large sum of money or

using one of the remaining 2 language

vouchers.

Improving the exchange of information

The university has to inform students

better about the possibilities and

requirements about going on exchange.

Furthermore, Front believes that going a

semester abroad should be possible

without having a delay in your study

progress.

Improving information provided to

international students about

accommodation

Tilburg University has to provide

international students with a better

overview of the possibilities of

accommodation. This overview should

contain more than just the few housing

agencies so that a fair idea of the

possibilities can made.

Improving work-perspective international

students

Tilburg University should provide better

guidance to international students to the

Dutch labor market. This will result in an

improved investment for the university

and the society as a whole.

COMMUNICATION The university should inform students

better about the decision-making process

and aim to achieve higher involvement by

students.

Improve study advice

Fractie Front pleads for a better study

advice and better communication from the

study advisors- and supervisors to the

students.

Improvement overview of the courses and

workshops

The university should increase the

awareness of the availability of workshops.

This can be done by making a clear

overview in the study guide on blackboard.


Development of instruction videos

Blackboard, COMAP and literature search

There should be short videos which show

the default actions (like registering for

courses and exams) and how they are

done. Additionally, Fractie Front pleads for

an instruction video explaining how to

search for literature.

Improvement of the website

It is of great importance that everyone can

easily find what they need on the TiU

website.

Awareness of exam registration

The university should make sure that

students are aware about the fact that they

have to subscribe for exams.

Distribute practice exams and answer

sheets

Fractie Front wants compliance with the

rules concerning the availability of

example questions. Teachers are

obligated to provide students with example

questions, in which the questions are a

reflection of the actual questions in the

exam.

Transparency in decision making

The information must be made public, so

that interested students are able to get

familiar with the decision making process

of the university.

Compliance with Education and

Examination Regulations

Fractie Front believes is important that

regulations are complied with. Of course,

this also counts for the Education and

Examination Regulations (EER) of all the

faculties. Fractie Front wants to conduct a

complaintbox.

STUDENT LIFE Students should feel at home at Tilburg

University

More commercial establishments

Especially during the summer there is

need for more Horeca. Extra commercial

establishments such as bars, will make

sure that more students will stay at the

campus after their lectures.

Luxurious coffee machine in every building

of the University

The luxurious coffee corner in the library

has been well-received. Therefore. Front

proposes lto place luxurious coffee

machines in the other buildings as well.

Expanding opening hours of the library

Front proposes that the university library

should be open from 08.00 during

weekends.

Expanding opening hours and improving

the price/quality ratio of the food in the

Mensa

Mensa should be open during the

weekends. Furhtermore, the price/quality

ratio should be improved.

6 EL


Outside workplaces

Front is advocating outside workplaces

with electricity so that students van enjoy

the good weather whilst working.

Student café on the campus

Fractie Front wants to see that students

want to be more on the campus. This can

be realized by having a campus café.

Lounge-corners in different buildings

Lounge-corners should positively affect

atmosphere at the campus. There should

be multiple lounge-corners


“Going the extra mile”, means doing more

than just studying. Next year, Front will

continue to be

committed to the

active student.

Personal

development is

the main

incentive for this. The active student is not

the only one benefiting from what he’s

doing; he also creates chances for people

around him. Front believes that both the

university and the student should be

aware of this. Being or becoming an active

student should not

only be

stimulated; it

should also be

taken into

account that the

student needs space and flexibility.

WORD ACTIEF TILBURG Last year, Word Actief Tilburg (an initiative

of TiGeAk, SOTS and Front) has become

an university-wide concept. WAT is

responsible for a clear awareness-

campaign about the benefits of- and

possibilities to become active next to your

study. Next year, WAT will stay committed

to this and will expand its campaign.

INTEGRATION “BEING ACTIVE

NEXT TO STUDY” IN THE

INFORMATION SYSTEM Front believes that the university should

also play a role in making students more

aware of the benefits of- and possibilities

to become active next to studying. Many

students do not know what being active

has to offer them, both on a personal and

social level.

Tilburg University promotes itself with its

core message “Understanding Society”.

The integration of “being active” in the

information system therefore offers the

university many possibilities. If Tilburg

University wants to grow with this vision in

mind, both in numbers and quality, then

attention for the active student is crucial.

INTRODUCING MULTIPLE PILOT

STUDY DAYS When future students get to go lectures

during the day they get decent idea of the

study, but not the student life of Tilburg.

Therefore the complete overlook for the

new students could be made better with

the presence of evening events. To make

sure that students will attend such

programs they will need some sort of

accommodation. With the help of student

associations Front is vindicating for

multiple consecutive pilot study days. This

will result in more motivated students.

Less stringent requirements on the intensfication of The Excllence

Scolarships

In Strategic Plan: more attention for

student organizations.

8 EL


These students will probably make a

better study choice, because they will be

better informed.

IMPROVEMENT OF SOFT-SKILLS

TRAINING If you, as a student, want to prepare

yourself for the labor market, then you

should not only focus on content. Soft-

skills (like presenting, negotiating and

teaming) are not only necessary, but could

also – when trained well and deployed in a

strategic way – contribute to the strong

profiling of a student. The university offers

training and workshops to improve these

soft-skills, and also (study) associations

organize activities where students can

participate. However, Front believes that

this could be improved.

The university has to get its students

ready for the moment they’re graduated

and enter the labor market. Training of

soft-skills should therefore be included

university-wide in the studies. This is

possible through integration in courses,

but the introduction of courses specifically

focusing on training of certain soft-skills

would be even more desirable. Involving

experts would be a way to guarantee the

quality of these courses. An additional,

highly important point is that this should be

regulated university-wide: each student at

Tilburg University, regardless of which

faculty this student has to do with, has to

get the chance to prepare himself on the

future in this way.

REALIZATION OF VIDEO

LECTURES

Front advocates the realisation of more

video lectures. Hereby, flexibility will

increase: not only the

active student will

benefit from this:

students will also

get the chance to

follow courses that overlap. Furthermore,

each student has the possibility to again

hear “the bigger story” around the study

material, since this will be available online

at each all times. Lastly, lecturers will be

stimulated to critically look at the content

of their lectures, which enlarges the

efficiency and quality of these lectures.

GET RID OF MANDATORY

LECTURES Teachers are eager to make sure that

students will attend their lectures. Front

believes that the solution is in making the

lectures non-mandatory. Many lectures,

especially work lectures (which are

mandatory now) are seen by students as a

waste of time and additionally those

lectures are not a good reflection of the

subject. The responsibility of attending

lectures with the students themselves.

Front is therefore be against mandatory

lectures.

In strategic plan: no further obligations

REALIZED


PROMOTION OF STUDENT

WORKPLACES The number of student workplaces will

increase in the next few years. But before

these have been realized, the demand for

workplaces will keep growing. Many

students are not aware of certain

workplaces on the

campus and in

the center of

Tilburg. To be

able to meet the

growing demand

for workplaces,

the university

should be

concerned with

the promotion

and visibility of

these student workplaces among students.

NO FURTHER INCREASE OF

ADDITIONAL DEMANDS BINDING

STUDY ADVICE

In previous years is the Binding Study

Advice (BSA) increased from 36 ECTS to

42 ECTS. In the current Strategic Plan the

plan is to raise the BSA to 48 ECTS. Front

is for now against this proposition.

The ministry of Education, Culture and

Science (OCW) has proposed an tentative

with the BSA for the second and third

bachelor years. Fractie Front is fiercely

opposed this and will nog accept any

further inhibitions for students by the BSA.

Students should be able to develop

themselves beside their studies.

Furthermore has the Board of directors of

the University made a proposal about

additional demands

for the BSA,

which could be

adjusted within

the different

faculties. For example the obligation to

accomplish certain courses to get a BSA is

not a good measurement. Fractie Front is

against this measure. A single course

should not be a threshold for gaining the

BSA.

POSSIBILITY FOR EVERY

STUDENT TO ATTEND ANY

COURSE In the curriculum of the bachelor a lot of

students have courses which are

mandatory. Sometimes it is not possible to

attend such course, although it is a

mandatory course. For example at the

TSB, sometimes students will have to

register for lectures exactly at the opening

of this new period. If students are just

moments later then the lecture could be

full and can only be attended a semester

later. Fractie Front will plead for no

hindrance and the ability for students to

apply to courses within their curriculum.

10 ELECTION PROGRAMME 2014 – 2015 FRACTIE FRONT

Internationalization has become a key

theme for Front and Tilburg University and

the importance of this theme is growing

every year. The university has to follow

this trend by exchanging knowledge, on

the one hand between students and

teachers, and on the other hand between

Tilburg and universities abroad.

Understanding society does not only apply

to just the Dutch society anymore, the

modern definition of society is the entire

global community. The internationalization

of our university is not only clearly visible

in the increasing importance of the English

language. It is also visible in the ever-

growing group of exchange students going

abroad or visiting Tilburg University. An

international orientation also plays an

important role in the modern labor market

and the university has the responsibility to

facilitate the growth of the international

orientation of students.

SUPPORT FOR DEVELOPING

ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS When choosing their study program, many

students immediately eliminate the

international ones, mainly because of the

fear of using the English language.

However, many English courses are also

found in Dutch programs. A lot of students

have trouble with writing, reading and

speaking in English. Because of this

reason, Front wants to incorporate an

assessment of their level of English into a

course of the first year of every bachelor

degree. All freshman students receive

personal feedback and advice whether

and which language course is beneficial

for them. By having personal feedback,

the step to actually take a language

course is lower and makes sure that

language problems are quickly tackled. In

this way they will not keep returning later

in the student’s career.

INCREASING NUMBER OF

CLASSES AND FLOW TO HIGHER

LEVEL LANGUAGE COURSE At this moment there are not enough

places available in a multitude of language

courses from the Language Centre. A

preliminary requirement for several

exchange destinations is that a certain

level of the domestic language is required.

Tilburg University has the duty to provide

spots in the needed courses for this urgent

group of students. The problem of not

having enough room within the groups is a

problem that all students who want to

follow an extra language course face.

Front wants to provide the possibility for all

students who need an extra course, by

creating more groups. Also, all students

get only two vouchers to follow languages

courses. When you spend them both to

follow an extra course, it will cost the

student a huge sum of money to do

another one after those two courses. Front

wants the possibility for students to start a


language course, and then follow

consecutive courses as well, without

having to spend money or a voucher. By

offering this possibility, students are

motivated to do follow-up courses, so that

they can truly learn a language and not

just learn the bare basics.

IIMPROVING ENGLISH LEVEL OF

LECTURERS Tilburg University offers a multitude of

English international studies and language

courses. Front is glad that the university is

doing this, but if the University offers these

English courses, the level of English of the

lecturers should be suited. Unfortunately,

Front has detected that the level of English

from several lecturers is not according to

the standard. The result is that for both

Dutch and international students it

becomes hard to understand what is being

explained in the lectures. This causes the

content of these lectures to be lost.

Therefore Fractie Front wants to include

English in the Basic Qualification

Education (BQE) for international studies.

This should ensure that the quality of

English is sufficient.

IMPROVEMENT INFORMATION

EXCHANGE An exchange semester is a great

opportunity for students to have an

international experience. Not only studying

abroad, but also the whole social

experience outside the lecture hall is an

important for the self-development of the

student. Companies understand the

benefits of having international

experienced employees and having been

abroad is thus an ever more important

criterion in the selection of an employee.

Because of the positive impact on the

development of the student and creating a

better student for the labor market, it is

very important that Tilburg University

stimulates her students to study a

semester abroad. Front believes that

every single student should have the

opportunity to study abroad, without being

delayed in their study progress. After

years of putting this to this on the agenda

of the university council, the University has

adopted this into their strategic plan under

the name “mobility window”.

During the transitional phase, the time until

the ”mobility window” will get implemented,

the university should provide an

information package to all the first year

students. This package should include

information about what an exchange

contains and what is necessary for a

student to go on exchange without delay in

study progress. The information package

has to clarify which courses should be

taken in the second year in order to go

abroad in the third year without getting

delayed.

Furthermore, the university should

improve the information provision about

the requirements for the partner

universities abroad. Often, it is not clear

for students that the university they


applied for has certain language

requirements. Furthermore, Tilburg

University should be clear about the

language used in the courses at the

university abroad. Too often people are

getting selected for an exchange semester

in a Spanish speaking country, not

knowing that all courses are only offered in

Spanish.

IMPROVING INFORMATION

AROUND ACCOMODATION As we speak, about 1250 international

students are taking a bachelor or master

degree program at Tilburg University. Prior

to their arrival in Tilburg, Tilburg University

sends them an information package about

accommodation in Tilburg. Among them

the Verberne apartments and as of this

year TalentSquare, are offered as possible

accommodation. The international

students are not familiar about the rent

prices in Tilburg, which means they often

choose without further consult on of these

options. Because of the lack of information

they choose a too expensive room.

Especially TalentSquare is a very

expensive option for international

students, because they do not receive

housing allowance from the Dutch

government. Front wants that the

university gives a better and more

complete image of the market for rooms in

the city. The option of not using an

intermediary like “kamperpunt” is often not

included whilst this is the primary method

of finding a room for Dutch students in

Tilburg.

IMPROVE GUIDANCE TO LABOR

MARKET Tilburg University wants to be a university

that understands the society, in the

Netherlands and outside of our borders.

That means that involving international

students in the society is important. They

need to get acquainted with the Dutch

culture and labor market, so that they do

not move away from The Netherlands after

their study. Unfortunately, Tilburg

University does not provide the

international students and recent

international alumni with enough advice to

actually join the Dutch working force. Our

university has the responsibility to inform

them and provide help to enter the labor

market. This means that Front wants to

promote the Career Centre under the

international students and make them

aware of the many opportunities for a

career that are being offered by the

University and organizations in and around

the campus.


How is a student able to know what

happens within an university- or faculty

council? This is only possible when there

is open communication about the

decisions and the information is publicly

available. For the average student it is a

mystery what the councils are talking

about. Even when someone is willing to

search for information around the affairs of

the university, it is not known where to find

this information. Know what is expected

from you, and what you can expect:

something Fractie Front will commit

herself to!

IMPROVE STUDY ADVICE The quality of the current advice given by

the study advisors- and tutors needs

improvement, within the faculties and

university-wide. It is crucial that a student

gets good advice about for instance the

quality and the establishment of a career.

Fractie Front pleads for an adequate

study-advice and better communication

from the study advisors and tutors to the

students.

IMPROVEMENT OVERVIEW

COURSES AND WORKSHOPS Fractie Front thinks that the university

should make an effort to get students

more aware about the courses that are

offered outside of the studies. For example

job training. By having a clear

representation of all the courses and

workshops in the ‘personal study guide’ on

Blackboard, students will have an

overview of all the courses and workshops

given at the university. An additional

option is the representation of workshops

organized by student- and study

associations in the overview.

DEVELOPMENT INSTRUCTION

CLIPS BLACKBOARD, COMAP

AND LITERATURE SEARCH At the beginning of college, many students

have problems with the use of Blackboard

and COMAP. During all the years they

spent in college students use these pages

and therefore it is important they will get

familiarized with it. Therefore, Fractie

Front wants the university to take

responsibility and develop instruction clips

for Blackboard and COMAP. These clips

should show the default actions (like

register for courses and exams) in a clear

way. Next to this, Fractie Front pleads for

an instruction video with explanation about

the search for literature.

IMPROVEMENT OF WEBSITE The website of Tilburg University is many

times considered to be unclear and

confusing. Fractie Front wants the website

of Tilburg University to be clear and

simple. Therefore it should be improved.

Future students, current students and

employees must be able to find all the

information they need on the website.


AWARENESS EXAM

REGISTRATION Currently, a student gets a fine of €25,-

when he or she did not register for an

exam before the closing date and still

wants to participate. Fractie Front believes

that the university should take the

responsibility to develop a way to make

students more aware of the closing dates

for registration. It can be a possibility to

aware a student while registering for a

course with pop-ups.

RELEASE EXAM- AND RESPONSE

MODELS Fractie Front wants that the rules

concerning the availability of example

sheets are complied to. Teachers are

obligated to provide students with example

questions, in which the questions are a

reflection of the actual questions in the

exam.

Next to this, Fractie Front pleads that the

response models of assignments and

exams will become available for students.

Teachers should argue why they gave a

certain grade, using these models. This

gives more control with granting certain

grades and gives the opportunity for

students to learn about their mistakes.

moreover, students know their points

to improve and can use this further in their

studies.

TRANSPARENCY IN DECISION

MAKING In general, students do not know about the

decision making within the university

council and the faculty councils. With the

‘Pleekrant”, which can be found in the

toilets of the library since March, Fractie

Front reaches a lot of students already.

However, the comprehensive information

is not provided. The

papers and

minutes of the

council meetings

are only available

via a link, which

you only can get on request. Fractie Front

wants the university to take responsibility

for making the decision making on the

university transparent. The information

must be made public, so that interested

students are able to dive into the decision

making process on the university.

COMPLIANCE WITH EDUCATION

AND EXAMINATION

REGULATIONS Compliance to marking period

Fractie Front thinks it is important that

regulations are complied to, which also

counts for the Education and Examination

Regulations (EER) of all the faculties.

It happens too much that a student hands

in an assignment or makes an exam and it

takes too long to receive their feedback

and grade. The rules fort his are

determined in the EER, which are

described in the appendix.

Bigger reach of students via the

‘Pleekrant’

REALIZED


Feedback grades

In every EER it is determined that each

student has the possibility to inspect their

written exam. This way, students are able

to take note from the questions and

assignments in an exam and also from the

standards that are used to determine the

grade. Fractie Front has learned that

students do not know which standards

they will be tested on. It is important

students are notified that they can inspect

their exam and discuss which standards

they have or have not met. Since this is

determined in the EER, Fractie Front

wants to commit herself to make sure that

these regulations will be followed.

Knowledge database and complaint box

Many students do not know that they are

protected by the EER. If they are known

with it, they do not know what this means.

Fractie Front pleads for a knowledge

database, which contains the ‘frequently

asked questions’ about the EER. In this

way it is clear for students when they are

in their right if they think that rules are not

complied to.

Of course, it is important that something

happens with the infractions. To tackle the

problems mentioned above, Fractie Front

wants to conduct a complaint box. Every

student can report their complaints when

the rules in the EER are violated. As a

result, it should be clear that the agreed

sanctions should be followed.


Tilburg University has a unique compact

campus with an abundance of features of

its own, among them the forest at the west

side. The properties of this unique campus

can contribute to a University where

students feel like home. Fractie Front

wants to make sure that students are

indeed more connected with the University

and therefore want to spend more time on

the campus.

MORE HOSPITALITY

ESTABLISHMENTS Café Esplanade is the only café at the

campus, but offers not enough space for

students. During the summer, students are

too often rejected at the entrance of the

café because the lack of a big terrace.

This problem could be solved by

expanding the terrace of the Esplanade

Café. Furthermore students should be

able to stay longer at the Café in the

evening, this could be done by expending

the opening hours. Fractie Front wants to

expend the hospitality establishment, so

students are able to relax at the campus

after their lectures.

LUXURIOUS COFFEE MACHINE IN

EVERY BUILDING OF THE

UNIVERSITY In 2013 Fractie Front ensured a luxurious

coffee machine in the coffee corner of the

library. Students received this new

luxurious coffee machine positively and

therefore Front

wants to

implement

luxurious coffee

machines in every

building at the University.

EXPANDING OPENING HOURS

LIBRARY In exam periods it is of great importance

that students have

maximum access

to all study

facilities. Fractie

Front pleads for

expanded opening hours of the University

Library in the weekend from 08:00AM till

00:00MN.

EXPANDING OPNENING

HOURS AND ENHANCING

PRICE/QUALITY RATIO OF

FOOD IN THE MENSA During the weekend students have limited

options to have lunch or dinner close to

the campus. Fractie Front pleads for

opening the Mensa during the weekend.

Furthermore Fractie Front wants to

improve the quality of the food and the

prices should fit a better price/ quality

ratio.

Students prefer to study outside in nice

weather. This is not yet possible at Tilburg

University. Fractie Front wants to realize

outside workplaces with power points to

give students the opportunity to study

outside.

STUDENT CAFÉ AT CAMPUS In the long run Front sees more cohesion

from students with the university when

there is a student café. This café should

be exploited by students for students. Low

consuming prices will attract more

students to the campus, and as result

there will be an increased cohesion

between students. In other cities campus

cafes are popular among students and

Fractie Front wants to introduce this

student café in Tilburg.

LOUNGE CORNERS IN SEVERAL

BUILDINGS Fractie Front has the opinion that the

atmosphere on the campus could be

improved by arranging more lounge

corners like the lounge corner in the

Academia building.


For your interest in the plans of Fractie

Front.

The election program will serve as a

guideline for the academic year 2014-

2015. With the aid of the three pillars and

an overarching fourth subject of interest

we attempt to increase the habitability of

the campus and Tilburg as student city.

Besides the election program front will

attend every work path with a proactive

attitude and we always will go that extra

mile.

For now, we hope to have informed the

you sufficiently. However, if you have
