Toteutustapa

The first part of the study unit (Theory) is completed independently Jan 29th - Feb 29th, following a flexible schedule as long as it is completed by the given deadline. Self-direction is required. This part does not include meetings or working in pairs or groups. You will study in a Canvas learning environment which includes learning material and tests. You will not receive individual feedback for assignments: feedback is based on checking the accuracy of the answers.

The second part of the study unit (Project) is implemented on campus March 3rd - May 2nd. A Canvas learning environment is used to support the implementation, but it is important to take part in the workshops on campus according to schedule. The second part is based on teamwork. You will receive regular feedback for assignments from the teacher, and working life or peer feedback may also be utilised.

Attendance in the workshops is required. No alternative solutions are offered and this implementation cannot be taken remotely. Please check the schedule carefully! If you are not able to attend the scheduled workshops on campus, please choose another implementation.

Lisätietoja opiskelijoille

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

According to the degree regulations (section 18) "students must be present for the first contact teaching session, or they must notify the responsible teacher of their absence to confirm they intend to participate in studies, Alternatively, the teacher can specify a different manner for the student to confirm that they intend to participate in the studies. The completion of these measures can be required within a week of the studies having begun. The application of the aforementioned approach requires that the teacher notifies the students accepted to the study unit of the practice and that the practice is specifically mentioned in the study unit’s implementation plan.

If the student has a justified reason for not attending the first contact teaching session or for not notifying the teacher of their intention to be involved in studies in the manner required by the teacher, the student must contact the responsible teacher to agree on participation in the studies. Their registration for the study unit will be rejected, of the student does not notify the teacher of being absent from the first contact teaching session or the reason for their absence cannot be considered justified, Another student who is in line for the study unit can be selected in their place."

Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet

“The evaluation of competence is based on the descriptions of objectives in the curricula, and the level of competence is assessed according to the evaluation criteria listed in the implementation plan for the studies.” (Laurea degree regulations).

The study unit is assessed in two parts. The first part (theory) is assessed individually via quizzes in Canvas. Each quizz can be taken twice, in the given time frame. A grade from 0 to 5 will be given for this part based on the quizz results.

The second part (project) is assessed via a service design portfolio documenting the project. The portfolio is assessed as a team assignment. A grade from 0 to 5 will be given to the team.

In addition, students will give peer feedback via Buddycheck, which can be taken into account in grading if necessary.

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