Opetusmenetelmät

The course consists of two online meetings: a kick-off session and a closing session, as well as pre-recorded lectures.
The lectures are accompanied by independent learning assignments available in Reppu. These assignments help you practice and understand the key contents of the course.

In addition, the course includes two group-based project assignments, each worth approximately 2 ECTS credits (4 ECTS), which corresponds to about 100 hours of work. The projects guide you in applying the knowledge you have learned.

The project assignments are graded numerically and form the main part of the course assessment. Finally, there is a Reppu exam, which accounts for 1 ECTS credit of the course grade. The exam is evaluated as pass/fail.

Lisätiedot

Guidelines for the use of AI—including its possibilities and limitations—will be reviewed during the first session in relation to the course assignments (based on Arene's AI recommendations).

Failure to follow the given instructions may result in the rejection of the course. If this is the case only with separate assignment, the student will be required to redo the task to receive a passing grade.

Recordings will be made of the two joint online sessions, and they can be listened to later.

As with all the courses, it is possible to apply for credit transfer or recognition of prior learning (RPL) for the course, including the opportunity to integrate prior experience through a process of learning validation.
