Course material

The course literature will be reviewed during the introductory lecture. Other study materials will be distributed throughout the course.

Study forms and methods

The course will be delivered entirely as in-person teaching at the Kotka campus according to the schedule. Remote participation is not possible. In-person teaching sessions will not be recorded, nor will they be replaced by remote lectures when scheduled on-site teaching is provided.

Part of the in-person teaching takes place in a simulation environment, and attendance in simulation exercises is mandatory for completing the course.

Instructor guidance is available during in-person sessions and simulation exercises.

RDI and work-related cooperation

The course will feature guest speakers from the industry.
Simulations will be conducted in environments that resemble real-life professional settings.

Timing of exams and assignments

The course includes an oral exam, which is conducted as part of the simulation exercises.

The course also includes assignments that must be completed by the end date of the course.

The course ends at the time specified in the course schedule, by which students must have completed all required assignments, simulation exercises, and the oral exam.

Student workload

The workload for the course is approximately 40 hours of student work, including around 15 hours of lectures, 15 hours of simulation-based instruction, and 10 hours of independent study.

Evaluation scale

1-5

Assessment methods and criteria

The student’s performance is assessed with reference to the learning objectives and assessment criteria of the course.
