Toteutustapa

A Canvas learning environment is used to support the implementation, but it is important to take part in teaching and guidance on campus according to schedule. The study unit is completed partly independently following a schedule for returning assingments / by a given deadline. The teaching is not recorded.

The study unit includes working in pairs or groups. The study unit requires active participation and commitment to interactive studying.

You will not receive individual feedback for assignments from the teacher: feedback is based on checking the accuracy of the assignments, giving out model answers after the assignments have been returned, and giving peer feedback.

Attendance is required at the orientation, seminar, simulations, workshop, and YleSH knowledge test.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

All students are entitled to demonstrate their competence. The recognition and accreditation of prior competence is initiated by the students themselves. The competence is recognised and accredited by the teacher responsible for the studies or another person designated to the position. The assessment is carried out according to the same assessment criteria and, as a rule, same grading scale as that adopted for the corresponding study unit or module. The student is entitled to apply for accreditation of prior competence regardless of where, how and when the competence has been acquired. The student may also seek accreditation of competence to be acquired on the job as part of their degree (work-based learning).
The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence and for providing sufficient information.

Lisätiedot

The study unit corresponds to the requirements of Bachelor's level education.
According to the degree regulations (section 18) "students must be present for the first contact teaching session, or they must notify the responsible teacher of their absence to confirm they intend to participate in studies, Alternatively, the teacher can specify a different manner for the student to confirm that they intend to participate in the studies. The completion of these measures can be required within a week of the studies having begun. The application of the aforementioned approach requires that the teacher notifies the students accepted to the study unit of the practice and that the practice is specifically mentioned in the study unit’s implementation plan.

If the student has a justified reason for not attending the first contact teaching session or for not notifying the teacher of their intention to be involved in studies in the manner required by the teacher, the student must contact the responsible teacher to agree on participation in the studies. Their registration for the study unit will be rejected, of the student does not notify the teacher of being absent from the first contact teaching session or the reason for their absence cannot be considered justified, Another student who is in line for the study unit can be selected in their place."

This implementation is only for groups SNP222SN and SNF222SN.

The quality of the study unit implementation has been assessed and the self-evaluation report is available in Canvas.
