Opiskelumateriaali

Luentomateriaali jaetaan opiskelijoille opintojakson Learn-alustan kautta. Pigmenttikansioiden tekoon opiskelija hankkii itse kansion, akvarellipaperia ja muovitaskuja.

Yksilölliset oppimisväylät

Scheduled track:
Teaching organized according to timetable, in addition to working order share of the independent work as agreed.

Independent track:
The learning process that has been integrated into the work will be possible if in your assignments you can develop the know-how that has been mentioned in the objectives and contents of the study module. Contact the teacher of the study module before the beginning of the study module in good time to determine it
• is the learning process that has been integrated into the work possible in your own assignment
• what kind evidence you are able to give from your know-how
• witch parts of the study module you have to participate in teaching
