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.

The course workspace will remain open until the end of the course deadline (see Timing), and all assignments must be completed before the workspace closes.

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.

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

An automatically assessed course means that your performance is automatically assessed.

NOTE! To obtain a course grade of 1-5, you must obtain at least the minimum number of points specified for each mid-term exam and all assignments must be returned. By completing only part of the assignments, the course is not passed with a grade of 1-5, even if the midterm assignments total at least 40% of the total points. A failed exam (below the pass mark) may be retaken twice. The time limit for the exam is 30 minutes and each exam may be attempted three times, i.e. the two retakes of a failed exam are also included in this performance. The highest score remains valid, i.e. you can try to increase your score even if you pass the exam on the first attempt. If you do not pass the exam in three attempts, you will have to start the course again. In this case, please contact mooc@laurea.fi.

This means that the course also includes tasks which are not assessed or taken into account in the overall course grade. However, they must be done in order to progress in the course. These assignments will always be worth 0 points.
