  Teaching methods

  Your thesis project starts from the idea of a thesis topic. The topic should come from a client company that you need to find out yourself. In practise, you work in a company, identify a development opportunity, formulate and agree on a topic with the company, write a thesis proposal and return it in Optima. That is when your thesis project has been initiated (step 1).
  The proposal will be developed with a lecturer until it is approved and agreed with the client company (step 2). The supervisors from Laurea and the client company are confirmed in the agreement.
  Commitment to the project schedule is confirmed in step 3.
  The key milestones are listed below. The details of each step as well as the supporting templates and documents are given in Optima.
  0. Ideas from previous study units, placements, projects etc.
  1. Proposal (why, what, how) -> presentation (optional)
  Supervisor nominated, kick-off meeting with the supervisor
  2. Thesis agreement with the client
  3. Project time plan (dates for key milestones)
  4. Project report drafts (TOC, background, theory base)
  5. Complete project report (Abstract, content, source references, conclusions)
  6. External feedback from
  a. Opponent (peer review) - send email to all students in this workspace to find an opponent to your presentation. Note that you have to act as an opponent to some other student at any point of your project.
  b. Language teachers (abstract review)
  c. Urkund (plagiarism review)
  7. Presentation (mandatory)
  8. Maturity test (like re-taking an exam, registration instructions)
  9. Final Thesis report
  10. Assesment by the client and the supervisor
  11. Storage in public database (Theseus)
  12. Credits issued

  Further information for students

  Tutkintosäännön 18§ mukaisesti ”opiskelijan on oltava ensimmäisellä kontaktikerralla läsnä tai ilmoitettava poissaolostaan vastuuopettajalle. Ilmoittautuminen hylätään, mikäli opiskelija ei ilmoita poissaolostaan opinnon aloituskerralta. Hänen tilalleen voidaan ottaa jonossa oleva seuraava opiskelija. (Lauran tutkintosääntö.) Virtuaalitoteutuksilla voidaan edellyttää muunlaista aktiivisuuden osoitusta paikan vahvistamiseksi viikon sisällä toteutuksen alkamisesta (Opetuksesta vastavan vararehtorin päätös 7/2019). ”
  
  [Mikäli toteutuksen tiedoissa on ilmaistu, että toteutukselle on varattu paikkoja Avoimen AMK:n, 3AMKin tai väyläopintojen opiskelijoille, kerro kohderyhmälle varattu paikkamäärä tässä. Tarvittaessa tässä myös ilmaistaan mille kohderyhmälle täydentävän osaamisen opinto on ensisijaisesti kohdennettu, jos kohderyhmällä halutaan olevan etusija opintototeutukselle hyväksyttäessä.] (not translated)

  Alternative completion methods

  Laurean tutkintosäännön mukaisesti kaikilla opiskelijalla on oikeus osaamisensa näyttämiseen. Aloitteen hankitun osaamisen tunnistamisesta ja tunnustamisesta tekee opiskelija. Osaamisen tunnistaa ja tunnustaa moduulista tai opintojaksosta vastaava opettaja tai muu korkeakouluyksikön johtajan nimeämä henkilö. Arvioinnissa noudatetaan samaa arviointikriteeristöä ja arviointiasteikkoa kuin opintojaksolla. Katso lisätietoa Linkistä.

  Important dates

  [Mikäli opinnolla edellytetään pakollista läsnäoloa, on se kirjattava ja perusteltava opinnon toteutussuunnitelmassa (Laurean tutkintosääntö 18 §). Kerro esim. toteutuksen tehtävien palautuksesta, tenttien ja uusintamahdollisuuksien ajankohdista. Varsinainen toteutuksen aikataulu näkyy opiskelijalle Pakissa suoraan toteutuksen varauksina, joten näitä tietoja ei tarvitse tässä kentässä toistaa.] (not translated)

  Students workload

  [Yksi opintopiste vastaa keskimäärin 26,7 tuntia opiskelijan tekemää työtä. Voit arvioida opiskelijan ajankäyttöä eri kokonaisuuksissa/tehtävissä. Kuormittavuuden laskemiseen löydät työvälineen Pepin opettajan työpöydän valikosta ”Toteutukset”. ] (not translated)

  Further information for students

  Understanding customers can be challenging. Still it creates the basis for business development. To whom do you develop your service to? Who is your customer and who is the end user for the product or service? How are you able to find all necessary information and make different decisions based on it? How do you use this information in service design or development?
  During this study unit we’ll go through different aspects of customer behavior. The focus and examples are from different digital services. In addition, you’ll get the possibility to analyze your own behavior as a customer.
  The study unit grade is based on weekly assignments which need to be completed and returned before the deadlines.
