Alternative completion methods

Sinulla on oikeus hakea osaamisen tunnistamista ja tunnustamista, jos sinulla on aiemmin hankittua osaamista (esimerkiksi muualla suoritettuja korkeakouluopintoja), joita voidaan katsoa hyväksi nyt suoritettavaan tutkintoon.

Osaamisen tunnistamisessa ja tunnustamisessa on kolme päätapaa: hyväksilukeminen (korvaaminen, sisällyttäminen) ja muulla tavoin hankitun osaamisen tunnistaminen ja tunnustaminen sekä opinnollistaminen. Lisätietoa JAMKin tutkintosäännössä, luku 17.

Content scheduling

DemoLab 1 alkaa intensiivisesti. Ensimmäiset kolme viikkoa kurssista ideoidaan, konseptoidaan sekä luodaan prototyyppi ryhmissä. Sen jälkeen ryhmät työskentelevät itsenäisesti ja tapaavat noin kahden viikon välein erilaisissa Scrum seremonioissa. Tällaisia ovat esimerkiksi retrospektiivi, backlog grooming ja sprintin suunnittelu.

Kurssi päättyy loppuesitykseen joulukuussa.
