Osaamisen arviointi perustuu opetussuunnitelmien tavoitekuvauksiin ja opinnon toteutussuunnitelmalla ilmoitettavaan arviointikriteeristöön (Laurean tutkintosääntö).
Opiskelijan, joka ei ole suorittanut hyväksytyksi opintojakson läpäisemiseksi asetettuja tehtäviä tai tenttejä, tulee täydentää tai uusia suorituksensa opintojakson opettajan määrittelemällä tavalla ja opettajan määrittelemässä ajassa. Hylätyn tentin tai muun suorituksen voi uusia kaksi kertaa. Varsinaiseen tenttiin osallistumatta jättäminen lasketaan yhdeksi suorituskerraksi. (Laurean tutkintosääntö.)
Kaikkien Laurean toimijoiden odotetaan noudattavan hyviä tieteellisiä käytänteitä, joihin kuuluu asianmukainen lähteisiin viittaaminen. Perehdy ja kysy käytänteistä tarvittaessa. Kaikki opintotehtävät tehdään yksilötyönä, jollei tehtävässä ole muuta ohjeistettu. Urkundin käytöstä tehtävien tarkistuksen yhteydessä opettaja kertoo erikseen.
Opinnon arvioinnissa käytetään amk-tutkinto-opiskelijan osaamisen arviointikehikon vaatimustason II mukaisia kriteereitä. (not translated)

1) RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING
Any competence that corresponds to the learning outcomes of the course can be included in it through recognition and accreditation of prior learning. The starting point is competence-based thinking: what matters is your competence itself, not how and where you acquired it. The procedures for the recognition and accreditation of prior learning are Recognition of prior studies and Demonstration of competence.
Where to start:
At first you would need to go carefully through the objectives, contents and assignments of the course to evaluate if there would be some entity / several entities where you already have know-how and competence? If yes, think how you can demonstrate your competence (e.g. earlier certificates, individual essay, short research or development project at your workplace, report, portfolio). Within one week of the start of the course contact the responsible teacher kati.rintakorpi@laurea.fi to arrange a Zoom meeting where we will discuss and identify your competence and agree on the method of demonstrating your competence.
OR
2) RECOGNITION OF WORK-BASED LEARNING
If you are working in ECEC at the same time that studying it would be possible to find an alternative way to complete the course or some part of it by recognizing what information and skills you can learn (or have already learned) at your workplace.
Where to start?
At first you would need to go carefully through the objectives, contents and assignments of the course to analyze if there would be some entity / several entities which you can learn at your work place?
If yes, think how you can learn those things in practice and how you can demonstrate your competence (e.g. essay, short research or development project at your workplace, report, portfolio).
Within one week of the start of the course contact the responsible teacher kati.rintakorpi@laurea.fi to arrange a Zoom meeting where we will discuss and identify your work situation, general and personal goals and agree on the method of learning and demonstrating your competence.

The study unit corresponds to the requirements of Bachelor's level education. Additionally, Master level students can also participate in the course.
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."
The quality of the study unit implementation has been assessed and the self-evaluation report is available in Canvas.
