Teaching methods

[Enter here the following key information on the study unit implementation: implementation method, learning environment, R&D methods to be used and guidance, counselling and communication practices. Check the information above that campus has been chosen if there is even one meeting at the campus. If so, you should not mark full amount virtual points as this indicates that the implementation is fully online.]

Location and time

[This field is not used at Laurea.]

Learning materials and recommended literature

[Enter here information on the books and articles to be used. Add links to Laurea’s Finna.
Example:
Juholin, Elisa: Communicare (2017) https://laurea.finna.fi/Record/laurus.90185

Contact your Laurea library well in advance to let the library know the study unit for which you need the books and the number of students in the study unit. The library can also help you find a suitable knowledge basis.]

Alternative completion methods of implementation

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 alternative completion methods.]

Co-operation with working life and/or RDI

[Use this field to describe the project/venture cooperation and other cooperation carried out with workplaces.
The contents of this data field are used to monitor the implementation methods and the realisation of the strategic objectives. Filling in this field does not substitute for the need for the PRM entry.]

Important dates

[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. Indicate the dates of the submission of assignments, exams and opportunities to retake examinations in the implementation. The actual implementation schedule is directly visible to students in Pakki as implementation reservations, so this information does not need to be repeated in this field.]

Forms of internationality

[Use this field to describe the realisation of internationality in the study unit (e.g. international partners).
The contents of this data field are used to monitor the implementation methods and the realisation of the strategic objectives. Leave the text if it applies:] The study unit is suitable for exchange students.

Students workload

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

Content and scheduling

[Describe the content by using the vocabulary used in the world of work. Eg. if you are teaching the basics of programming, tell also which language you are teaching. 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 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).

[If there are quata for certain type of students, open UAS, 3AMK etc please tell about the quata and the amount of study places reserved for those students in this field.
If needed, you can also specify the target group the complementary competence study is primarily aimed at, if the target group is to be prioritised when students are accepted on the implementation.]

Evaluation methods and criteria

“The evaluation of competence is based on the descriptions of objectives in the curricula and the evaluation criteria provided in the study unit’s implementation plan” (Laurea degree regulations).

[Enter here the items to be evaluated, emphases, evaluation methods, evaluators and evaluation date. Check the requirement level from the study unit information. You can remove criteria that are not suitable for this implementation but no other changes are not allowed.]

In this study unit the assessing of the competences will be done by using the criteria set for requirement level I.

[Leave the parts that apply] “Students who have failed assignments or examinations required for passing a study unit must supplement or retake their study attainment in a manner and schedule defined by the teacher of the study unit. ... A failed examination or other study attainment can be retaken twice. A failure to attend an actual examination is considered to be one completion attempt.” (Laurea degree regulations.)

All staff and students of Laurea are expected to adhere to good scientific practices, which includes appropriate referencing. Familiarise yourself with the practices and, if needed, ask for more information. All study assignments are to be done as individual work unless otherwise instructed. [If Urkund is used when assignments are checked, the lecturer will inform the students of this.]

The learning outcomes are assessed by using level 1 of Laurea's common assessment criteria.
