Viimeinen tapaaminen pidetään toukokuun aikana.Pienryhmätapaamisia varten voidaan varata lisäpäiviä.

Laurean ammattikorkeakoulun tutkintomääräysten mukaan,
"Opiskelijan on oltava ensimmäisellä kontaktikerralla läsnä tai ilmoitettava poissaolostaan vastuuopettajalle opintoon osallistumisensa vahvistamiseksi. Vaihtoehtoisesti opettaja voi määrittää myös muun tavan, jolla opiskelija vahvistaa osallistumisensa toteutukselle. Näitä toimia voidaan edellyttää viikon sisällä toteutuksen alkamisesta. Edellä esitetyn mukaisesti toimintatavan soveltaminen edellyttää, että opettaja tiedottaa toteutukselle hyväksyttyjä opiskelijoita käytänteestä ja että käytänne on kerrottu opinnon toteutussuunnitelmassa.

Mikäli opiskelija on estynyt perusteluista syistä osallistumaan ensimmäiseen kontaktikertaan tai aktivoitumaan opinnoissa opettajan asettamien edellytysten mukaisesti, hänen tulee olla yhteydessä vastuuopettajaan toteutukselle osallistumisesta sopimiseksi. Ilmoittautuminen hylätään, mikäli opiskelija ei ilmoita poissaolostaan opinnon aloituskerralta tai poissaolon syytä ei voida pitää perusteltuna. Hänen tilalleen voidaan ottaa jonossa oleva seuraava opiskelija."

The Project section session will be held on the campus starting with a kick-off and this session is mandatory for all students. Last campus session includes final presentations and self and peer evaluations.

During the project section teams will carry out a service design project based on a real-life design challenge. Between the meetings on campus the teams work in the virtual learning environment Canvas.

The project part sessions will be held on the Leppävaara campus during the daytime - please check the schedule in Pakki. Taking part in the contact sessions on campus is crucial as we work in teams and use co-creation methods during the sessions. Between the contact sessions the teams will work according to their own agreement (online or off), following the service design process.

Lisätietoja opiskelijoille

Understanding customers can be challenging. How do we define what is valuable for an individual customer? What about organizations as customers? Today, many of the trends are international, but their local interpretation and implementation may still be very multifold. The study of the human mind has gone a long way, but part of the mind’s operations, especially on individual level, still remain difficult to forecast.
During this course we will define the factors that underlie customer actions, feelings, and judgment processes. We strive to understand purchasing decisions from the perspective of the individual and the organization, and analyze patterns and trends in customer behaviour.
The course grade is composed of two assignments which both need to be successfully completed and handed in by the deadlines. The assignments that arrive late will be graded only if the late handing in has been agreed in advance with the teacher. The honoring of deadlines is taken into account in the grading. The late handing in will lower the grade, and if not justified, disallows the completing of this course.

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.

Viimeinen tapaaminen pidetään toukokuun aikana.Pienryhmätapaamisia varten voidaan varata lisäpäiviä.

Laurean ammattikorkeakoulun tutkintomääräysten mukaan,
"Opiskelijan on oltava ensimmäisellä kontaktikerralla läsnä tai ilmoitettava poissaolostaan vastuuopettajalle opintoon osallistumisensa vahvistamiseksi. Vaihtoehtoisesti opettaja voi määrittää myös muun tavan, jolla opiskelija vahvistaa osallistumisensa toteutukselle. Näitä toimia voidaan edellyttää viikon sisällä toteutuksen alkamisesta. Edellä esitetyn mukaisesti toimintatavan soveltaminen edellyttää, että opettaja tiedottaa toteutukselle hyväksyttyjä opiskelijoita käytänteestä ja että käytänne on kerrottu opinnon toteutussuunnitelmassa.

Mikäli opiskelija on estynyt perusteluista syistä osallistumaan ensimmäiseen kontaktikertaan tai aktivoitumaan opinnoissa opettajan asettamien edellytysten mukaisesti, hänen tulee olla yhteydessä vastuuopettajaan toteutukselle osallistumisesta sopimiseksi. Ilmoittautuminen hylätään, mikäli opiskelija ei ilmoita poissaolostaan opinnon aloituskerralta tai poissaolon syytä ei voida pitää perusteltuna.

Lisätietoja opiskelijoille

Understanding customers can be challenging. How do we define what is valuable for an individual customer? What about organizations as customers? Today, many of the trends are international, but their local interpretation and implementation may still be very multifold. The study of the human mind has gone a long way, but part of the mind’s operations, especially on individual level, still remain difficult to forecast.
During this course we will define the factors that underlie customer actions, feelings, and judgment processes. We strive to understand purchasing decisions from the perspective of the individual and the organization, and analyze patterns and trends in customer behaviour.
The course grade is composed of two assignments which both need to be successfully completed and handed in by the deadlines. The assignments that arrive late will be graded only if the late handing in has been agreed in advance with the teacher. The honoring of deadlines is taken into account in the grading. The late handing in will lower the grade, and if not justified, disallows the completing of this course.
