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.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

According to the degree regulations (2024), Students are entitled to apply for recognition of prior learning regardless of where, when and how the competence has been acquired. At Laurea, there are two different procedures for the recognition and accreditation of prior learning: a) accreditation of prior learning (competence acquired in higher education studies at another institution) and b) demonstration of competence (competence acquired in other ways). The recognition and accreditation of prior learning is initiated by the student themselves. The student is responsible for demonstrating and verifying their competence. The student is entitled to guidance for the recognition and accreditation of their competence. Further information in the student intranet.

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). The course is graded on a pass/fail basis. A passing grade requires the completion of all assignments at a minimum level equivalent to a grade of 1 according to the criteria. In this study unit the assessing of the competences will be done by using the criteria set for requirement level I. Professional knowledge basis, information searching and reporting To achieve grade 5 student must be able to - use professional concepts extensively - compare and choose - relevant information - report and communicate in a professional manner To achieve grade 3 student must be able to - use professional concepts in a consistent manner when explaining various work practices and situations - gather information and use their knowledge basis - report in the agreed manner To achieve grade 1 (or pass) student must be able to - use essential professional concepts when explaining various work practices and situations - search for information in different sources - report Professional practice and workplace development To achieve grade 5 student must be able to - work independently, using the skills and methods learned - take responsibility for interaction with customers and/or co-operation partners and for responding to their needs - anticipate their need for guidance To achieve grade 3 student must be able to - work using the skills and methods learned - engage in professional interaction with customers and/or co-operation partners and identify their needs - take part in guidance and utilise it To achieve grade 1 (or pass) student must be able to - work under guidance using the skills and methods learned - interact with customers and/or co-operation partners - receive guidance Teamwork, skills, leadership, and responsibility To achieve grade 5 student must be able to - promote the team’s work and team spirit - manage their time appropriately, completing the agreed tasks at the required quality level - work responsibly, applying the skills and methods learned - plan and evaluate their work, taking safety and/or ethical aspects into consideration To achieve grade 3 student must be able to - engage in goal-oriented work in a team - plan and manage the progress of their work and use of time - detect safety-related risks - justify their actions in accordance with the professional code of conduct To achieve grade 1 (or pass) student must be able to - work as a member of a team - plan the progress of their work and use of time under guidance - work safely and in accordance with the professional code of conduct - follow the provided instructions and rules “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.) There is one opportunity to resubmit failed assignments in the course. 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 Tournitin is used when assignments are checked, the lecturer will inform the students of this.
