Teaching methods

The student must be present at the first in-person meeting of the course implementation. Absences are allowed only for compelling reasons. If a student is absent without notification, a new student may be admitted in their place. During the orientation, important course dates and assignment submission deadlines will be covered. The instruction is delivered through in-person teaching at the Otaniemi campus, as well as through independent assignments and workshop-based learning. Attendance is mandatory in the workshop. The workshop must be completed in order to participate in the general nurse qualification examination (yleSH demonstration test)
