Teaching methods

Self-paced online course. The course is completed entirely independently by the end of the course deadline. You will study the material in an online learning environment, which includes study materials and assignments/tests. No personal feedback will be provided on the assignments.

Location and time

n the Canvas online learning environment during the duration of the course. See Timing.

Learning materials and recommended literature

All material needed for studying is in the Canvas workspace or linked there.

Alternative completion methods of implementation

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.

Demonstration of competence for the entire study period is carried out through Tradenomikoulutus - Demonstrations of skills - Canvas. Using the basis found in the workspace, the student prepares a competency analysis and returns it to the course folder. Competence analyzes are processed once a month. If the previous competence covers part of the competence goals of the study course, the student must contact the teacher of the study course.

Students workload

The study course contains 135 hours of work done by the student, which means an average of about 8 hours/week divided over the entire duration of the study course. Pay special attention to the scheduling of this course in your calendar, because the tasks do not have separate deadlines, but the student is independently responsible for the timing that suits their calendar.

The course is Bachelor's degree program level. Master's students may also take the course or join to familiarize themselves with the content, but the course cannot be included in a Master's degree.

The quality of the study unit implementation has been assessed and the self-evaluation report is available in Canvas.

Laurea degree students and pathway students enroll in the course through Pakki. Enrollments are processed almost daily, allowing you to start the course flexibly when it suits you. You will receive a completion record for the course approximately two weeks after finishing. During holiday periods, enrollments and completion records are processed less frequently.

If the course is not completed by the end date of the implementation, the student can enroll in the next implementation. Incomplete assignments cannot be transferred to the next implementation; all tasks must be redone.
