Monimuotototeutus, johon voi osallistua Zoomin kautta tai paikan päällä Saarijärven kampuksella.

Kaikkien tutkinto-ohjelmien opiskelijat voivat valita tämän toteutuksen, vaikka se on ensisijaisesti suunnattu agrologiopiskelijoille, jos ryhmässä on tilaa.

Lähiopetuksessa teet sekä itsenäisesti että ohjatusti opettajan antamia kirjallisia ja suullisia harjoitustehtäviä sekä ryhmätehtäviä. Teet myös etätehtäviä Moodlessa etäopiskelujaksojen aikana. Opintojaksoon sisältyy muutama arvioitava kirjallinen ja suullinen palautustehtävä. Näistä tehtävistä saat opettajalta kirjallisen tai suullisen palautteen. Opintojaksolla on myös kirjallinen ja suullinen tentti.

Opintojaksolla edellytetään päätelaitteesi ja Moodle-oppimisympäristön yhteensopivuutta sekä esitystyökalujen sujuvaa hallintaa. Tarvitset mikrofonin, web-kameran ja toimivan verkkoyhteyden.
