Attention: This is an intensive implementation. If you need a grade in Peppi before the summer break, all work must be completed by June 2nd, 2025. Any work that is submitted after this date will be graded in August 2025. Specific details will be given in the mandatory kick-off.

This implementation is for those students writing their thesis in English.

1. Register for the course by the deadline.

2. All registered students will have access to the Moodle workspace the day after registration closes (not right after you register) and a welcome email will be sent.

3. It is assumed that students have already begun writing the theoretical basis of their thesis in English at this point. Students must compile a document that includes 3-5 pages of theoretical basis text (that include in-text citations and list of references) and return to Moodle by the deadline.

4. Only those students who have successfully completed the document by the deadline will be sent a Zoom invite for the mandatory Kick Off session (1.5 hours).

5. Students work independently online to complete 8 minor tasks in chronological order. The average pace is one minor task a week, but students can complete the tasks at a faster pace.

6. When the 8 minor tasks have been completed, students are eligible to register for the Show What You Know session (small Zoom group where students summarize their results and give feedback to others).

Kick Off sessions, online coaching during the completion of the 8 minor tasks and Show What You Know sessions occur on Mondays in Zoom, 16.00 – 18.00.

Teaching methods

Online implementation with a scheduled timetable, utilizing the Flipped learning method.

The student independently studies the workspace materials and utilizes them to complete assignments for their thesis following the course's shared schedule. The learning environment is the Moodle workspace, which becomes accessible at the beginning of the course. Feedback on assignments is primarily provided during webinars. Guidance aligns with the lesson sequence in Zoom, with the link being shared on Moodle.

The course is designed for individuals working on their thesis in Finnish. A corresponding Thesis Writing program is offered for those completing a thesis in English.

Students are expected to participate in the course once they have familiarized themselves with the source material of their thesis and are actively engaged in writing the knowledge base. To confirm this, students are required to submit 3–5 pages of the knowledge base of their thesis (not the research plan) as a preliminary assignment at the start of the study period. Throughout the study period, students will write, edit, and analyze the knowledge base of their own thesis under group guidance following a shared schedule.

Please note that only those who have submitted the preliminary assignment will be officially enrolled in the course. Failure to return the preliminary assignment by the deadline will result in the registration being removed from Pep without prior notification. In such a case, the student may then register for another session.

Exam dates and retake possibilities

The deadlines for submitting assignments and resubmission times are available in Moodle's workspace.

The preliminary assignment must be submitted by the deadline to begin the course.

Assignment 1 must be submitted by the deadline to proceed with the study period. Submitting assignment 1 on time indicates your commitment to following the Study Course schedule. Failure to submit task 1 by the deadline will result in removal of registration from Pep, allowing the student to register for another session.

Tasks 2 and 3 can be resubmitted twice if not passed on the first attempt.

Student workload

In addition to the preliminary assignment, there are three learning assignments:
Task 1 Evaluation and discussion of the sources used in the thesis on the forum
Task 2 Writing a referencing and metatext text for the theoretical part of the thesis
Task 3 Drafting the introduction to the thesis

Orientation and getting to know the workspace 5 hrs
Independent study of course materials 10 hrs
Webinars 6 hrs

This implementation is for those students writing their thesis in English.

1. Register for the course by the deadline.

2. All registered students will have access to the Moodle workspace the day after registration closes (not right after you register) and a welcome email will be sent.

3. It is assumed that students have already begun writing the theoretical basis of their thesis in English at this point. Students must compile a document that includes 3-5 pages of theoretical basis text (that include in-text citations and list of references) and return to Moodle by the deadline.

4. Only those students who have successfully completed the document by the deadline will be sent a Zoom invite for the mandatory Kick Off session (1.5 hours).

5. Students work independently online to complete 8 minor tasks in chronological order. The average pace is one minor task a week, but students can complete the tasks at a faster pace.

6. When the 8 minor tasks have been completed, students are eligible to register for the Show What You Know session (small Zoom group where students summarize their results and give feedback to others).

Kick Off sessions, online coaching during the completion of the 8 minor tasks and Show What You Know sessions occur on Mondays in Zoom, 16.00 – 18.00.

Teaching methods

This implementation is for those students writing their thesis in English.

1. Register for the course by the deadline.

2. All registered students will have access to the Moodle workspace the day after registration closes (not right after you register) and a welcome email will be sent.

3. It is assumed that students have already begun writing the theoretical basis of their thesis in English at this point. Students must compile a document that includes 3-5 pages of theoretical basis text (that include in-text citations and list of references) and return to Moodle by the deadline.

4. Only those students who have successfully completed the document by the deadline will be sent a Zoom invite for the mandatory Kick Off session (1.5 hours).

5. Students work independently online to complete 8 minor tasks in chronological order. The average pace is one minor task a week, but students can complete the tasks at a faster pace.

6. When the 8 minor tasks have been completed, students are eligible to register for the Show What You Know session (small Zoom group where students summarize their results and give feedback to others).

Kick Off sessions, online coaching during the completion of the 8 minor tasks and Show What You Know sessions occur on Mondays in Zoom, 16.00 – 18.00.

Teaching methods

Online implementation with a scheduled timetable, utilizing the Flipped learning method.

The student independently studies the workspace materials and utilizes them to complete assignments for their thesis following the course's shared schedule. The learning environment is the Moodle workspace, which becomes accessible at the beginning of the course. Feedback on assignments is primarily provided during webinars. Guidance aligns with the lesson sequence in Zoom, with the link being shared on Moodle.

The course is designed for individuals working on their thesis in Finnish. A corresponding Thesis Writing program is offered for those completing a thesis in English.

Students are expected to participate in the course once they have familiarized themselves with the source material of their thesis and are actively engaged in writing the knowledge base. To confirm this, students are required to submit 3–5 pages of the knowledge base of their thesis (not the research plan) as a preliminary assignment at the start of the study period. Throughout the study period, students will write, edit, and analyze the knowledge base of their own thesis under group guidance following a shared schedule.

Please note that only those who have submitted the preliminary assignment will be officially enrolled in the course. Failure to return the preliminary assignment by the deadline will result in the registration being removed from Pep without prior notification. In such a case, the student may then register for another session.

Teaching methods

Online implementation with a scheduled timetable, utilizing the Flipped learning method.

The student independently studies the workspace materials and utilizes them to complete assignments for their thesis following the course's shared schedule. The learning environment is the Moodle workspace, which becomes accessible at the beginning of the course. Feedback on assignments is primarily provided during webinars. Guidance aligns with the lesson sequence in Zoom, with the link being shared on Moodle.

The course is designed for individuals working on their thesis in Finnish. A corresponding Thesis Writing program is offered for those completing a thesis in English.

Students are expected to participate in the course once they have familiarized themselves with the source material of their thesis and are actively engaged in writing the knowledge base. To confirm this, students are required to submit 3–5 pages of the knowledge base of their thesis (not the research plan) as a preliminary assignment at the start of the study period. Throughout the study period, students will write, edit, and analyze the knowledge base of their own thesis under group guidance following a shared schedule.

Please note that only those who have submitted the preliminary assignment will be officially enrolled in the course. Failure to return the preliminary assignment by the deadline will result in the registration being removed from Pep without prior notification.

Teaching methods

This implementation is for those students writing their thesis in English.

1. Register for the course by the deadline.

2. All registered students will have access to the Moodle workspace the day after registration closes (not right after you register) and a welcome email will be sent.

3. It is assumed that students have already begun writing the literature review/ knowledge base of their thesis in English at this point. Students must compile a document that includes 3-5 pages of literature review thesis text (that include in-text citations and list of references) and return to Moodle by the deadline.

4. Only those students who have successfully completed the document by the deadline will be sent a Zoom invite for the mandatory Kick Off session (1.5 hours).

5. Students work independently online to complete 8 minor tasks in chronological order. The average pace is one minor task a week, but students can complete the tasks at a faster pace.

6. When the 8 minor tasks have been completed, students are eligible to register for the Show What You Know session (small Zoom group where students summarize their results and give feedback to others).

Kick Off sessions, online coaching during the completion of the 8 minor tasks and Show What You Know sessions occur on Mondays in Zoom, 16.00 – 18.00.
