Yksilölliset oppimisväylät

Opintojakso on verkko-opintojakso, jossa ei ole paikkaan sidottua opiskelua. Luennot on toteutettu videoluentoina ja oppimistehtävät opiskelija pystyy tekemään oman aikataulunsa mukaan. Opiskelija voi edetä opintojaksolla oman aikataulunsa mukaisesti.

TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö

Ei ole.

Tentit ja muut määräajat

Opintojaksolla ei ole varsinaisia tenttejä, vaan oppimistehtäviä, jotka jokainen tekee oman aikataulun mukaisesti opintojakson voimassa olon aikana.

Kansainvälinen yhteistyö

Ei ole.

Opiskelijan työmäärä

5 op vastaa n. 135 tuntia opiskelijan työmäärää.

Further information

Toteutukselle on varattu paikkoja seuraavasti:
- tutkinto-opiskelijoille 30 paikkaa ja
- avoimen opiskelijoille 20 paikkaa.
