Exam schedules

Tutkintosäännön 18§ mukaisesti ”opiskelijan on oltava ensimmäisellä kontaktikerralla läsnä tai ilmoitettava poissaolostaan vastuuopettajalle opintoon osallistumisensa vahvistamiseksi. Vaihtoehtoisesti opettaja voi määrittää myös muun tavan, jolla opiskelija vahvistaa osallistumisensa toteutukselle. Näitä toimia voidaan edellyttää viikon sisällä toteutuksen alkamisesta. Edellä esitetyn mukaisesti toimintatavan soveltaminen edellyttää, että opettaja tiedottaa toteutukselle hyväksyttyjä opiskelijoita käytänteestä ja että käytänne on kerrottu opinnon toteutussuunnitelmassa. Mikäli opiskelija on estynyt perusteluista syistä osallistumaan ensimmäiseen kontaktikertaan tai aktivoitumaan opinnoissa opettajan asettamien edellytysten mukaisesti, hänen tulee olla yhteydessä vastuuopettajaan toteutukselle osallistumisesta sopimiseksi. Ilmoittautuminen hylätään, mikäli opiskelija ei ilmoita poissaolostaan opinnon aloituskerralta tai poissaolon syytä ei voida pitää perusteltuna. Hänen tilalleen voidaan ottaa jonossa oleva seuraava opiskelija”.

[Kerro esim. toteutuksen tehtävien palautuksesta, tenttien ja uusintamahdollisuuksien ajankohdista. Varsinainen toteutuksen aikataulu näkyy opiskelijalle Pakissa suoraan toteutuksen varauksina, joten näitä tietoja ei tarvitse tässä kentässä toistaa.]
