Alternative completion methods of implementation
According to the degree regulations (2024), "Students are entitled to apply for recognition of prior learning regardless of where, when and how the competence has been acquired. ... At Laurea, there are two different procedures for the recognition and accreditation of prior learning: a) accreditation of prior learning (competence acquired in higher education studies at another institution) and b) demonstration of competence (competence acquired in other ways). The recognition and accreditation of prior learning is initiated by the student themselves. The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence. The student is entitled to guidance for the recognition and accreditation of their competence." Further information in the student intranet.
You may also assess work-based learning as a way to acquire the competence needed. Read more in the student intranet.
Co-operation with working life and/or RDI
Experts by experience will share their stories with the students during the study unit. We might contact some organizations or professionals so they are able to describe how they are helping and supporting clients.
Important dates
Based on the degree regulations (2024), the student accepted for the implementation is required to confirm his/her participation by showing activity at the start of the study in the following way:
In order to demonstrate activity, the student must be present at the first contact lesson or notify the teacher in charge of his/her absence to confirm his/her participation in the study. Registration will be rejected if the student does not report his/her absence at the start of the study or the reason for the absence cannot be considered justified. Another student can be taken in his place. The first contact lesson is .

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.
Co-operation with working life and/or RDI
The material produced by the students can be used as teaching material both in the current and later study courses
Important dates
Attendance is required at the orientation, seminar, simulations, workshop, and YleSH knowledge test.
If necessary, the YleSH knowledge test that is part of the implementation can be renewed on the official renewal date at your own campus (Porvoo or Lohja).

If they fail to notify the teacher of their absence in the first contact session, their enrollment will be rejected.

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.

Teaching methods
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.

Alternative completion methods of implementation
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.
Co-operation with working life and/or RDI
The material produced by the students can be used as teaching material both in the current and later study courses
Important dates
Attendance is required at the orientation, seminar, simulations, workshop, and YleSH knowledge test.
If necessary, the YleSH knowledge test that is part of the implementation can be renewed on the official renewal date at your own campus (Porvoo or Lohja).
According to the degree regulations (section 18) “students must be present in the first contact session or notify their teacher in charge if they cannot attend. If they fail to notify the teacher of their absence in the first contact session, their enrollment will be rejected. Another student in the queue may be enrolled in the study unit in the place of the absent student.” (Laurea degree regulations) In the case of online studies the lecturer can also specify some other way than participation on an online meeting what is required from the student so that he/she verifies his/her attendance on the study unit (Decision by the vice president, education 7/2019).
Students workload
One credit equals approximately 26.7 hours of work performed by the student.

Further information for students
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.
