Teaching methods

[Enter here the key information on registering/applying for a placement, placement implementation method, placement environment as well as the guidance, counselling and communication practices. You may also instruct the student to find additional information elsewhere, such as in LINK and/or Optima. However, provide sufficient information in the implementation plan so that other parties involved in guidance and counselling can rely on the implementation plan to carry out guidance and counselling work.]

Employer connections

[Provide a brief description of guidance provided and development work carried out in the placement location.]

Exam schedules

[According to the degree regulations (section 18 ) compulsory attendance in a study unit must be specified and justified in the study unit’s implementation plan. Provide the placement period and details of the submission of assignments. The actual implementation schedule is directly visible to students in Pakki as calendar reservations, so this information does not need to be repeated in this field.]

International connections

Placement can also be carried out abroad. Please see LINK for further information.

[Leave the text if it applies:] The study unit is suitable for exchange students.

Completion alternatives

According to the degree regulations “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 module or study unit or another person designated by the director of the UAS unit. 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.

[Describe the opportunities for accreditation of prior learning or other alternatice completion methods.]

Student workload

One credit equals approximately 26.7 hours of work performed by the student. [You can evaluate the student’s time management in different modules/assignments. A tool for calculating the workload is available in the “Implementations” menu of the teacher’s desktop in Peppi ]

Content scheduling

[If you are able to specify the content, please describe the content by using the vocabulary used in the world of work. From this field you should be able to find same words, which are being used in job postings. The field will be used in a service using AI to match studies, jobs and personal competences.

Further information

The study unit corresponds to the requirements of Bachelor's level education.

[Leave the instructions only if the regulations is applied]

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).

The quality of the study unit implementation has been assessed and the self-evaluation report is available in [Optima, Canvas, Teams, or elsewhere; you can also add OneDrive link].
