Further information for students

Opiskelijan tulee osallistua aktiivisesti koko kurssin ajan jotta pysyy kurssilla mukana. Ensimmäisen kolmen viikon jälkeen tarkistetaan etenemä (tietyt tehtävät pitää olla tehtynä). Tuon jälkeen kurssilta poistetaan ne, joilla etenemää ei ole.

Kurssiarvosana pohjautuu tenttiin. Muut suoritukset vaikuttavat arvosanaan kertoimella 0 tai 1. Jokainen erillisharjoitus on hyvä itsearvioinnin kohde, jotta voi reflektoida omaa oppimistaan.

Learning materials and recommended literature

Häkkinen, V-M. 2020. Logical Controls. Course Material. JAMK University of Applied Sciences, School of Technology.

Teaching methods

Working with automation equipment is inherently problem-oriented and is therefore also used as a learning method. Specifically, it takes place through contact hours, laboratory work, returnable exercises, and independent work.

Exam dates and retake possibilities

The near exam is at the time announced in Moodle. The exam can be renewed twice.

International connections

The course may have exchange students.

Student workload

Lectures 20 h, Tutorial lessons 20 h, programming and laboratory work 25 h, independent work 70 h, a total of 135 hours of learning work.

Content scheduling

The themes presented in the weekly two-hour lecture are practiced independently and their challenges are addressed in Tutorial classes as needed. Laboratory work is done independently at a free pace in the laboratory. Laboratory work can be performed once its preliminary task has been successfully completed.

Further information for students

Self-assessments are mainly done through learning assignments and laboratory work. The assessment decision is based 100% on the competence shown in the exam. In addition, the evaluation decision evaluates the performance of the laboratories and the assignment as a factor of 0 or 1.
