Opiskelumateriaali
Ilmoitetaan opintojakson alkaessa.
Yksilölliset oppimisväylät
Työviikkopohjaisessa väylässä
Ilmoittautuessasi tälle opintojakson toteutukselle osallistut työjärjestyksen mukaiseen opetukseen ja ohjaukseen. Opiskelusi rytmittyy työjärjestyksen mukaisten ryhmätapaamisten ja itsenäisesti tehtävien oppimistehtävien mukaan.
Työhön integroidussa väylässä
Työhön integroitu oppimisväylä on mahdollinen, jos voit työtehtävissäsi kehittää opintojakson tavoitteissa ja sisällöissä mainittua osaamista. Ota opintojakson opettajaan yhteyttä hyvissä ajoin ennen opintojakson alkua sen määrittämiseksi
• onko työhön integroitu oppimisväylä omassa työtehtävässäsi mahdollinen.
• millaisia näyttöjä osaamisestasi sinun on mahdollista antaa.
• mitä opintojakson osia sinun tulee mahdollisesti lisäksi suorittaa opetukseen osallistuen.
Opintoja nopeuttavana vaihtoehtona
- voit esimerkiksi ilmoittautua aikaisemmin opintonsa aloittaneelle ryhmälle tarjottavalle vastaavalle toteutukselle.

Assessment methods and criteria
Yksilölliset oppimisväylät
Learning route based on a working week
You will attend teaching and guidance sessions as specified in the schedule. Your study routine is determined by the scheduled group sessions and by the self-study assignments.
Learning route that accelerates the studies
If you have acquired prior learning in the subject (fully/partially), contact the teacher in charge prior the course to discuss whether you have the competence required and what are the methods of demonstrating that competence. If you are unable to attend all the classes due to other courses, you are required to complete the learning assignments independently.
Work-based learning route
You need to contact the course teacher prior the course to agree on development assignments that you will perform at your work place. You are required to prove your learning both in theory and practice by giving a presentation to the Teacher.

Deadlines:
– In order to benefit from the dedicated feedback sessions students must have at least partially completed the assignments on review at that time.
– If a student misses the deadline for an assignment feedback session, no assurance of feedback at a later date can be given. Current works take precedence.
– If a student can not achieve a required deadline the lecturer must be informed and an extension will be negotiated.
– Unauthorised late return of course assignments will have an effect on final grading. (Between 1 and 2 points deducted)
