In addition to independent studying, the study unit includes scheduled teaching or guidance online. Please check contents and your timetable in Pakki. Recordings of the teaching sessions can be viewed on Canvas afterwards. The study unit includes working in pairs or groups. You will not receive individual feedback for assignments from the teacher: feedback is based on checking the accuracy of the assignments, giving out model answers after the assignments have been returned, and giving peer feedback.

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 studies or another person designated to the position. The assessment is carried out according to the same assessment criteria and, as a rule, same grading scale as that adopted for the corresponding study unit or module. The student is entitled to apply for accreditation of prior competence regardless of where, how and when the competence has been acquired. The student may also seek accreditation of competence to be acquired on the job as part of their degree (work-based learning). ... The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence and for providing sufficient information.

Sisältö ja sen jaksotus

Perspectives on resilience taps into the concept of resilience, which American Psychological Association defines as “process of and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences” through psychological and behavioral “flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands”.​

Besides an individual level, the concept concerns also organizational and societal resilience. Both levels have gained attention in the past years: e.g, according to Wiig (2019) the “common use of the resilience concept relates to the ability of an entity, individuals, community, or system to return to normal condition or functioning after the occurrence of an event that disturbs its state”, or National Academy of Sciences (2012) define resilience as “the ability to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, or more successfully adapt to actual or potential adverse events”.​

This course has a focus on all these three levels with attempt to provide the students with an understanding of the various dimensions: resilience management cycles (e.g., plan, absorb, recover, and learn/adapt), system domains (social, cognitive, information, and physical) that be applied to build resilience on a societal, organizational or even an individual level.​

It also gives the students the tools to develop and apply their understanding and knowledge into practice. In other words, the course enables the students to build a resilience-based framework and deliver it in an actual work-life project.
