Based on the degree regulations (2024), a student accepted for the implementation is required to confirm his/her/their participation by showing activity at the start of the study in the following way:
In order to demonstrate activity, the student must be present at the first contact lesson or notify the teacher in charge of their absence to confirm participation in the course. Registration will be rejected if the student does not report their absence at the start of the study or the reason for the absence cannot be considered justified. Upon rejection another student can accepted as a replacement. The first contact lesson is 2.4.2025.
The workload of the course is measured as one credit corresponding to an average of 27 hours of work done by the student. The actual time needed varies e.g. according to prior competence.
Active participation in contact sessions is highly recommended.
The study unit also requires active independent studying of materials and subject matters given.
The total number of student work hours based on 5 ECTS is 135 hours; this means approximately 13,5 hours of work every week, contact sessions etc. included.
All study materials will be provided in Moodle
“Competence assessment is based on the descriptions of objectives in the curricula, and the level of competence is assessed according to the assessment criteria listed in the implementation plan for the studies” (Laurea degree regulations 2024).
All assignments need to be completed successfully to obtain a grade.
“Students who have failed to demonstrate their competence in accordance with the approved level must supplement or retake their study attainment in a manner and schedule defined by the teacher of the study unit. If the student does not pass the assessment despite the opportunity to complete their study attainment, they must complete the study unit in question in full as specified by the teacher.” (Degree regulations 2024.)
All staff and students of Laurea are expected to adhere to good scientific practices, which includes appropriate referencing. Familiarise yourself with the practices and, if needed, ask for more information. All study assignments are to be done as individual work unless otherwise instructed. If Tuurnitin is used when assignments are checked, the lecturer will inform the students of this.
