Teaching methods
Online implementation with a scheduled timetable, utilizing the Flipped learning method.
The student is responsible for studying the materials in the workspace, completing tasks using them, and receiving feedback primarily through collective feedback, with individual feedback also provided when necessary. The learning environment is the Moodle workspace, which will be accessible at the latest when the course begins. Guidance will be given in alignment with the lesson sequence in Zoom, with the link to the sessions announced on Moodle.
This course is designed for students who are writing their thesis in Finnish. Those who are writing in English should participate in the equivalent English-language course, Research Writing.
Students are required to attend the course once they have familiarized themselves with the source material of their thesis and are actively writing the knowledge base. To confirm this, students must submit 3–5 pages of the knowledge base of their thesis (not the research plan) as a preliminary assignment at the beginning of the study period. Throughout the study period, students will write, edit, and analyze the knowledge base of their own thesis under the guidance of the group following a shared schedule.
Please note that only students who have submitted the preliminary assignment will be officially enrolled in the course. Failure to submit the preliminary assignment by the deadline will result in the registration being removed from Pep without prior notification. In such cases, the student may register for another course implementation.
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.
Assignments 1 and 2 must be submitted by the deadline to proceed with the study period. Submitting assignments 1 and 2 on time indicates your commitment to following the Study Course schedule. Failure to submit tasks 1 and 2 by the deadline will result in removal of registration from Peppi, allowing the student to register for another session.
Student workload
Apart from the preliminary assignment, there are five learning tasks as follows:
Task 1: Examining the structure of the second YAMK-level thesis
Task 2: Evaluating the sources used in the thesis and participating in forum discussions
Task 3: Writing a referencing and metatext for the theory section of the thesis
Task 4: Drafting the introduction to the thesis
Task 5: Self-assessment, orientation, and familiarizing oneself with the workspace
Orientation and familiarizing oneself with the workspace: 10 hours
Webinars: 6-10 hours

Liukko, S. & Perttula, S. 2019. Opinnäytetyön raportointi. Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän ammattikorkeakoulu. Ohjetta päivitetään vuosittain. https://help.jamk.fi/raportointiohje/fi/.
Teaching methods
Online implementation with a scheduled timetable, utilizing the Flipped learning method.
The student is responsible for studying the materials in the workspace, completing tasks using them, and receiving feedback primarily through collective feedback, with individual feedback also provided when necessary. The learning environment is the Moodle workspace, which will be accessible at the latest when the course begins. Guidance will be given in alignment with the lesson sequence in Zoom, with the link to the sessions announced on Moodle.
This course is designed for students who are writing their thesis in Finnish. Those who are writing in English should participate in the equivalent English-language course, Research Writing.
Students are required to attend the course once they have familiarized themselves with the source material of their thesis and are actively writing the knowledge base. To confirm this, students must submit 3–5 pages of the knowledge base of their thesis (not the research plan) as a preliminary assignment at the beginning of the study period. Throughout the study period, students will write, edit, and analyze the knowledge base of their own thesis under the guidance of the group following a shared schedule.
Please note that only students who have submitted the preliminary assignment will be officially enrolled in the course. Failure to submit the preliminary assignment by the deadline will result in the registration being removed from Pep without prior notification. In such cases, the student may register for another course implementation.
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.
Assignments 1 and 2 must be submitted by the deadline to proceed with the study period. Submitting assignments 1 and 2 on time indicates your commitment to following the Study Course schedule. Failure to submit tasks 1 and 2 by the deadline will result in removal of registration from Peppi, allowing the student to register for another session.
Student workload
Apart from the preliminary assignment, there are five learning tasks as follows:
Task 1: Examining the structure of a second YAMK-level thesis
Task 2: Evaluating the sources used in the thesis and participating in forum discussions
Task 3: Writing a section of thesis theoretical basis focusing on summarizing sources and using metatext
Task 4: Drafting the introduction to the thesis
Task 5: Self-assessment
Orientation and familiarizing oneself with the workspace: 10 hours
Webinars: 6-10 hours
Studying materials and completing assignments: 20-30 hours
Writing your own thesis database and analysis: 20-30 hours

Teaching methods
Opintojaksolle osallistutaan, kun opinnäytetyön lähdeaineistoon on tutustuttu ja tietoperustan kirjoittaminen on aktiivivaiheessa. Tämän varmistamiseksi palautat opintojakson aluksi 3–5 sivua opinnäytetyösi tietoperustaa ennen aloituswebinaaria. Vain sovitun tietoperustan palauttaneet opiskelijat jatkavat opintojaksolla. Opintojakson aikana tietoperustaa kirjoitetaan lisää, muokataan ja analysoidaan ohjatusti ryhmän kanssa yhteisellä aikataululla. Kesän toteutus on intensiivitoteutus. Työskentely jakautuu viidelle viikolle.
su 19.5. Ennakkotehtävänä 3–5 sivua opinnäytteen tietoperustaa

Tämä opintojakso on tarkoitettu opinnäytetyötään suomeksi kirjoittaville. Englannin kielellä kirjoittavat osallistuvat vastaavalle englanninkieliselle toteutukselle Research Writing.
Käytössä on Moodle-oppimisympäristö. Opetus tapahtuu Zoom-yhteydellä. Osoite tulee näkyviin Moodlen työtilaan.
