Planned learning activities and teaching methods

During the study unit, you will make a career plan either as an employee or an entrepreneur and polish your job search skills as well as analyse your own networks. The study unit is based on guidance, and includes a discussion on the personal study plan with the tutor teacher in both semesters. The purpose of the guidance is to make you think about different options, not to give complete solutions. As a student receiving guidance you are responsible for your own decisions and the direction of your career. The discussions on the study plan are conducted either in person or in goal-oriented small groups. During the study unit, the tutor teacher will also give guidance on practices related to studying.
Optima will be used for communication during the study unit so it is important to make sure that you give permission for all messages from the system. In order for the guidance, advise and communication in the study unit to work smoothly, please use the conversation area in Optima for all questions and matters that do not require personal communication with the lecturer. In personal matters, you can contact the lecturer by email or phone or arrange to meet him or her.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Study units V1478 Exerting Influence in the Social Care Sector and V1477 Social Sector Service System and Social Care Legislation andare 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.
