  Teaching methods

  Study units V1477 Social Sector Service System and Social Care Legislation and V1478 Exerting Influence in the Social Care Sector are integrated as one study unit.
  Study unit consists of lectures, field visits and seminars. There will be both individual and group assignments and a project work.
  Course attendance requirements: Attendance is compulsory for all lessons unless agreed separately in class. You need to attend a minimum of 70% of classes, so in case there are, for example, 10 contact times, each 4 hours, you can miss three 4-hour classes (12 hours). If your absences are more than that, your grade will drop by one, for example from 3 to 2. In case your absences exceed 50% of contact hours, you need to consult your teacher on how to finalize the course (this could mean retaking the whole course, doing supplementary tasks or taking additional classes, if available). In case your tasks are considerably late but completed during the term in question, this will also affect your grade by -1. If the required tasks and requirements are not met, you need to enroll again for the course. For supplementary or delayed tasks, there will be no feedback.

  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."

  Alternative completion methods

  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.

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