Oppimateriaali ja suositeltava kirjallisuus

Public learning material (books, articles, videos, etc.) that are required for passing the course (‘must know’).

The learning material needed for completing this implementation must be described in detail in compliance with JAMK’s reporting instructions, NOT by indicating the location of the material in Optima or Moodle or by telling that the material will be announced later.

Teaching methods

The primary mode of delivery is a combination of in-class activities on campus and on-line lectures. The lectures will be recorded to support opportunities for 24/7 learning. The in-class activities deepen the learning in the forms of tutorials, individual and group works, reflection and guidance. However, if the COVID-19 situation requires the learning will be supported by on-line tutorials.

Exam schedules

No exam on the course, but mandatory assignments.
