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.

Please note that the scope of 2 credits is calculated to include 54 hours of studying. In other words, it is advisable to reserve time in your calendar for completing the study unit. The estimated time used for each module has been calculated according to 54 hours, but since we all have our own way to learn, you may go through the study unit at a slightly different pace.

All materials, which include podcasts, videos and quizes, can be found in the Canvas learning environment.

“The evaluation of competence is based on the descriptions of objectives in the curricula, and the level of competence is assessed according to the evaluation criteria listed in the implementation plan for the studies.” (Laurea degree regulations).

What do you need to do in order to complete this study unit?

The study unit is assessed as either a pass or a fail. Instructions for passing the study unit are set out below.

Go through the Canvas materials in order. Each content includes information on what you need to do in order to proceed.

Keep a learning diary. The study units includes 10 assignments in which you will be asked to note down a few observations of your experiences with practical experiments. You can make the entries as comprehensive as you want. You can also choose the most natural way for you to keep the learning diary. For example, you can write about your thoughts, draw them, make an audio recording or a video, or compile series of images of your thoughts. You will not submit the learning diary itself and your entries will not be assessed, but at the end of the three modules, you will be asked to participate in a discussion based on your entries.

Participate in discussions. The study unit requires participation in three discussions. In these discussions, you will share a few comments about your own experiences with the assignments. You can choose what to share and how widely you share your experiences. Your responses will not be separately assessed, and participation in the discussion will be considered a pass. Your discussion responses will be visible to the course coordinator/teacher and other course participants.

Submit your assignments. The study units includes two assignments in which you will either submit a file or answer a few questions. In you choose to submit a file, you can choose the format in which you will submit the assignment. Your assignments will not be assessed separately. A submitted file or answers to the questions will be considered a pass, depending on the assignment. The submissions you have made will be treated in confidence and they will only be viewed by the course coordinator/teachers.

Complete the multiple-choice tests. The study unit includes four short multiple-choice tests. For passing the assignment, you must answer at least half of the answers correctly (such as 4/8). You may take the test several times.

The submissions you make will be treated confidentially. The submissions will only be reviewed by the course coordinator/teachers, and they will be stored in the system for at least six months. On this course, teachers will not assess your submissions or give feedback on them, but a submitted assignment is already sufficient for a pass. However, teachers can perform spot checks on the submitted assignments, so please complete them carefully. The assignments are designed to support your learning, and you can make use of your work after the course.

All study assignments are to be done as individual work unless otherwise instructed.
