Contact your Laurea library well in advance to let the library know the study unit for which you need the books and the number of students in the study unit. The library can also help you find a suitable knowledge basis.
Alternative completion methods of implementation
All students have the right to demonstrate their competence. The recognition and accreditation of prior competence are initiated by the students themselves. This competence is acknowledged and accredited by the teacher responsible for the studies or by another person designated for this purpose. The assessment is conducted using the same assessment criteria and, typically, the same grading scale as that which is employed for the corresponding study unit or module. Students have the right to apply for the accreditation of prior competence, regardless of where, how, or when the competence was acquired. Additionally, students can also seek accreditation for competence acquired through on-the-job experience as part of their degree, often referred to as work-based learning. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and verify their competence, as well as to provide sufficient information.
Important dates
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.”
Forms of internationality
The study unit is suitable for exchange students.
Students workload
One credit typically equates to around 26.7 hours of work performed by the student. Given this, the allocated study time for the 5-credit course would be as follows:
Contact lessons: 40 hours
Personal creative assignments: 40 hours
Portfolio: 30 hours
Reading literature: 25 hours
For a 5-credit course, the total allocated study time would be 5 credits x 26.7 hours per credit, which equals 133.5 hours in total. The distribution you've provided should sum up to this total allocated study time of 133.5 hours.
Content and scheduling
Upon successful completion of the study unit, the student will have developed the following academic competencies:
- The ability to apply art-based methods effectively to foster a heightened sense of inclusion within diverse contexts.
- Proficiency in utilizing visual arts as a means to enhance the inclusion of clients within various social care settings.
- A keen appreciation of the unique and equivalent needs of different group members, facilitating an empathetic and equitable approach to social care.
- Competence in applying visual art methods as integral components of social care practice, thereby contributing to a holistic and creative approach to care provision.
- The capacity to engage in self-reflection, drawing from personal experiences within a creative process, thus fostering a deeper understanding of one's own journey and its potential impact on others.
- A comprehensive comprehension of the concept and significance of the "third space" within the context of a creative dialogue, enabling the exploration of novel and collaborative perspectives.
- Proficiency in utilizing concrete art-based techniques and methods as valuable tools for expression and communication within the academic and professional spheres.
Further information for students
According to the degree regulations 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. The registration for the study unit will be rejected if the student does not notify the teacher of being absent from the first contact teaching session. Another student who is in line for the study unit can be selected in their place.
The quality of the study unit implementation has been assessed and the self-evaluation report is available in Canvas.
