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
