The assessment is carried out according to the same criteria and grading scale as that adopted for the corresponding study unit.” For further information visit Link.

Students workload

Since the study unit is based on individual tasks and assignments the students are required to manage their own time and work well and independently. This course also includes group working, so collaboration is also premise for passing the course.
The average estimated time for a student to study the material, do the assignments and take the certification mini-courses offered by an outside organization is 270 hours.

Further information for students

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 enrolment will be rejected. Another student in the queue may be enrolled in the study unit in the place of the absent student.” (Laurea degree regulations) In the case of online studies the lecturer can also specify some other way than participation on an online meeting what is required from the student so that he/she verifies his/her attendance on the study unit (Decision by the vice president, education 7/2019).
