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.

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).

Lisätietoja opiskelijoille

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."

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

Laurean ammattikorkeakoulun tutkintomääräysten mukaan, "Kaikilla opiskelijoilla on oikeus osaamisensa näyttämiseen. Aloitteen hankitun osaamisen tunnistamisesta ja tunnustamisesta tekee opiskelija. Osaamisen tunnistaa ja tunnustaa opinnosta vastaava opettaja tai muu tehtävään nimetty henkilö.

Arvioinnissa noudatetaan samaa arviointikriteeristöä ja pääsääntöisesti samaa arviointiasteikkoa kuin vastaavalla opintojaksolla tai -kokonaisuudella.

Opiskelijalla on oikeus hakea osaamisen tunnustamista riippumatta siitä, missä, miten ja milloin osaaminen on hankittu. Opiskelija voi hakea myös työssä hankittavan osaamisen tunnistamista osaksi tutkintoa (työn opinnollistaminen). Tunnustettavan osaamisen tulee olla koulutuksen opetussuunnitelman osaamistavoitteiden mukaista. Opiskelija vastaa osaamisen osoittamisesta, todistamisesta ja riittävien tietojen toimittamisesta. Osaamisen arvioivat opiskelija ja näytön vastaanottava ohjaaja yhdessä.

Osaamisen tunnistamista tulee pääsääntöisesti hakea opintojen alussa, jotta opiskelija voisi edetä opinnoissaan sujuvasti. Opiskelijalla on kuitenkin oikeus hakea osaamisen tunnustamista koko opintojensa ajan."

Toteutuksen tärkeät päivämäärät

Canvas avataan viikkoa ennen ensimmäistä tapaamista. Viimeinen kokous pidetään huhtikuun lopussa.
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."
