Content (course unit)

human resource management, strategy process, change management, self-management, motivation, employment law, employment contract

Location and time

Conjoint face-to-face processing between participants takes place in class room according to syllabus. Peer-groups decide to themselves the place and time for the peer-group processing, during those weeks which has been agreed to. It is also possible for teacher and students to construct timetable during the course, if need occurs. In case of pandemy teaching will take place with the help of digital tools.

Exam schedules

An exam will be organised only upon joint agreement between responsible teacher and course attendants. Baseline is that no exam will be held on this course (instead peer-groups will provide jointly one portfolio - portfolio process will be explicitly explained in the beginning of the course).

Assessment methods and criteria

The course will be assessed based on a written peer group work (=portfolio). All the rehearsals during the course will affect on the course note if connected to portfolio and presented as part of it. Group size, reporting, modus operandi, all will be closer discussed on first classes. NOTICE! With a joint agreement between teacher and students any part of the course can become subject to modifications. The grading will take place by teacher reflecting the (through Urkund's / TURNITIN's plagiation prevention platform) delivered final portfolio against Bloom's taxonomy - depending which level the peer-group members have achieved with their portfolio, decides for the note. NOTICE! Peer-groups are entitled to fire such a member who, regardless of exhortations is unable to follow the guidelines, agreed upon by the peer-group internally. Such a (dismissed) member's note for the course will be zero (0).
The general evaluation criterias of TAMK are considered as well: https://www.tuni.fi/opiskelijanopas/kasikirja/tamk?search=arviointi&page=2198 Note! The teacher reserves the right to specify and modify the content and principles of assessment – for example, grading may deviate from the "identical grade for all peer group members"-principle; however, any changes are discussed with the students first, giving them an opportunity to influence the alterations.

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Processive learning, interactive discussions, rehearsals (written & oral). Can include also other type of activities

Learning materials

Teacher will define material to be used in the beginning of the course. During the entire course e-material will be provided and updated in cloud (/Moodle or equivalent platform). Each student is strongly encouraged on individual, preferably most focused, relevant data mining from any chosen source (dissertations / articles / magazines / literature / media / interviews / web) - the use of such sources will be further addressed and explained in the beginning of course.

Student workload

Course entity is thus planned that student's time usage equals at each time Tamk's preset requirement. Face-to-face occurring class room educational activities is only a part of the students' work load. Another part of student work is all the processing that takes via peer groups, e.g. in form of discussion, analytical processing of information and additionally continuos development of course report (=portfolio) throughout the course. Third part of students' work is individually performed data mining and principles of knowledge managing - each peer group are urged to agree on peer-group internal rules of conduct to be strictly followed during the entire course.

Content scheduling

Lectures & peergroup weeks take turns during entire course - however, changes to this may occur due to overlapping of excursions, Tamk-activities or other curriculum reasons. In such cases teacher usually informs peergroups by email or other, jointly agreed manner.

Completion alternatives

Should the group noting be rejected (;note = "0"), the peer group can re-edit their written report twice. After third hand-over of the report the entire course will be considered as failed, after which the entire course is to be taken anewly. Missing, single attendances can be substituted by participating any other later remittance on the same course. Out of a special reason a single student can equiponderate mangel on performance with an assignment individually agreed with responsible teacher. Baseline is however (taking notice of the networking-, interaction- and organisation skills) that this course will be carried out in form of a peer group work ONLY - this is to be understood as an emphasis towards individual responsibility acting as a productive member of an peer group.

Practical training and working life cooperation

No practical training is foreseen, but it is preferred that participants actively promote during the entire course their connections and understanding to comply with course outline. All the co-operative measures towards industrial, economic and business life such as direct contacts, interviews, data collecting or own work life practices are considered as additional value for course accomplishing.
Industrial & business cases are usually used as example.

International connections

It is preferred, that participants actively promote during the entire course their international connections and networking. Additionally can be agreed on separate arrangement for students to acquire special knowledge or information recarding international activities.

Further information

Entire course is strictly focused on peer group working, with help of which the presented substance will be reflected towards peer-group chosen portfolio goal. Used pedagogy is processive learning. As active mind setting as possible, parallelly working as a group, is worthwhile - there is a strong correlation between better grading and intensive group work. All the group member will receive equal note of the course. Each group defines their working rules, which team members are obliged to follow the entire duration of the course. Additionally, each group is entitled to expell any fellow teammate that is not honouring jointly established rules.

Assessment criteria - fail (0) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Should a student fail to actively participate throughout the course, such a performance will not be acknowledged. Should a student not have been participating to the portfolio process during any of its lifecycle stages, such a performance will not be acknowledged either (regardless of being enlisted to the course). Each peer-group will agree upon their rules & code of conducting, describing clearly the principles regarding their own working & processing - each peer-group have a right to dismiss/fire such a team member who, regardless of exhortations from the peer-group, has failed to participate on peer-group's work at an acceptable manner. Also: once peer-group will handover their portfolio for final evaluation, they will state the authors of the portfolio on its deck-page - any peer-groupmember's name missing from the deck-page acts as a signal towards teacher that such a student has become dismissed; note for stuch a students = null (0).

Assessment criteria - satisfactory (1-2) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Student will achieve the minimum acceptable level by: participating the minimum required amount on face-to-face classes / written report (portfolio) includes the essential content (ref: study plan) / student (or /-s) prove with their written output (both content and form) to possess basic knowledge & skills, parallelly presenting and emphasizing information relevant to objectives / students have also proven that they possess a wide range of information regarding course's topics / contents (Bloom's taxonomy level 1) and that they also understand the meaning of all the possessed information (Bloom's taxonomy level 2)

Assessment criteria - good (3-4) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Student will achieve this level by: participating the minimum required amount on face-to-face classes / written report includes the essential content (ref: study plan) / student (or /-s) prove with their written output (both content and form) to possess good knowledge & skills, parallelly combining already existing, original material with by themselves provided, value-adding information or knowledge / students have also proven that are (in addition to Bloom's levels 1 and 2) capable of applying all the acquired knowledge in to them relevant, working life situations (Bloom's taxonomy level 3) and that they are capable of analysing, breaking information into sub-parts and drawing conclusions based on this data (Bloom's taxonomy level 4)

Assessment criteria - excellent (5) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Student will achieve this level by: participating the minimum required amount on face-to-face classes / written report includes the essential content (ref: study plan) / student (or /-s) prove with their written output (both content and form) to possess exceptional knowledge & skills, parallelly combining already existing, original material with by themselves provided, value-adding information or knowledge in such a manner that this process will provide entirely new information (deductions, implications, applications, discoveries, summaries) /students have proven that they master all the earlier described Bloom's taxonomy levels (1-4) and are additionally capable of innovating and differentiating in their work all the acquired knowledge (Bloom's taxonomy level 5) - The highest level possible to acquire is Bloom's taxonomy level 6 which is to state that learner has obtained the highest level maturity possible - meaning that the learner can also critically observe his or hers learning process's outcomes and is autonomically capable of enhancing his or hers cognitive mental schemas, further to enhance learning efficiency

Teaching methods

Processive learning, interactive discussions, rehearsals (written & oral). Can include also other type of activities

Learning materials

Teacher will define material to be used in the beginning of the course. During the entire course e-material will be provided and updated in cloud (/Moodle or equivalent platform). Each student is strongly encouraged on individual, preferably most focused, relevant data mining from any chosen source (dissertations / articles / magazines / literature / media / interviews / web) - the use of such sources will be further addressed and explained in the beginning of course.

Student workload

Course entity is thus planned that student's time usage equals at each time Tamk's preset requirement. Face-to-face occurring class room educational activities is only a part of the students' work load. Another part of student work is all the processing that takes via peer groups, e.g. in form of discussion, analytical processing of information and additionally continuos development of course report (=portfolio) throughout the course. Third part of students' work is individually performed data mining and principles of knowledge managing - each peer group are urged to agree on peer-group internal rules of conduct to be strictly followed during the entire course.

Content scheduling

Lectures & peergroup weeks take turns during entire course - however, changes to this may occur due to overlapping of excursions, Tamk-activities or other curriculum reasons. In such cases teacher usually informs peergroups by email or other, jointly agreed manner.

Completion alternatives

Should the group noting be rejected (;note = "0"), the peer group can re-edit their written report twice. After third hand-over of the report the entire course will be considered as failed, after which the entire course is to be taken anewly. Missing, single attendances can be substituted by participating any other later remittance on the same course. Out of a special reason a single student can equiponderate mangel on performance with an assignment individually agreed with responsible teacher. Baseline is however (taking notice of the networking-, interaction- and organisation skills) that this course will be carried out in form of a peer group work ONLY - this is to be understood as an emphasis towards individual responsibility acting as a productive member of an peer group.

Practical training and working life cooperation

No practical training is foreseen, but it is preferred that participants actively promote during the entire course their connections and understanding to comply with course outline. All the co-operative measures towards industrial, economic and business life such as direct contacts, interviews, data collecting or own work life practices are considered as additional value for course accomplishing.
Industrial & business cases are usually used as example.

International connections

It is preferred, that participants actively promote during the entire course their international connections and networking. Additionally can be agreed on separate arrangement for students to acquire special knowledge or information recarding international activities.

Further information

Entire course is strictly focused on peer group working, with help of which the presented substance will be reflected towards peer-group chosen portfolio goal. Used pedagogy is processive learning. As active mind setting as possible, parallelly working as a group, is worthwhile - there is a strong correlation between better grading and intensive group work. All the group member will receive equal note of the course. Each group defines their working rules, which team members are obliged to follow the entire duration of the course. Additionally, each group is entitled to expell any fellow teammate that is not honouring jointly established rules.

Assessment criteria - fail (0) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Should a student fail to actively participate throughout the course, such a performance will not be acknowledged. Should a student not have been participating to the portfolio process during any of its lifecycle stages, such a performance will not be acknowledged either (regardless of being enlisted to the course). Each peer-group will agree upon their rules & code of conducting, describing clearly the principles regarding their own working & processing - each peer-group have a right to dismiss/fire such a team member who, regardless of exhortations from the peer-group, has failed to participate on peer-group's work at an acceptable manner. Also: once peer-group will handover their portfolio for final evaluation, they will state the authors of the portfolio on its deck-page - any peer-groupmember's name missing from the deck-page acts as a signal towards teacher that such a student has become dismissed; note for stuch a students = null (0).

Assessment criteria - satisfactory (1-2) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Student will achieve the minimum acceptable level by: participating the minimum required amount on face-to-face classes / written report (portfolio) includes the essential content (ref: study plan) / student (or /-s) prove with their written output (both content and form) to possess basic knowledge & skills, parallelly presenting and emphasizing information relevant to objectives / students have also proven that they possess a wide range of information regarding course's topics / contents (Bloom's taxonomy level 1) and that they also understand the meaning of all the possessed information (Bloom's taxonomy level 2)

Assessment criteria - good (3-4) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Student will achieve this level by: participating the minimum required amount on face-to-face classes / written report includes the essential content (ref: study plan) / student (or /-s) prove with their written output (both content and form) to possess good knowledge & skills, parallelly combining already existing, original material with by themselves provided, value-adding information or knowledge / students have also proven that are (in addition to Bloom's levels 1 and 2) capable of applying all the acquired knowledge in to them relevant, working life situations (Bloom's taxonomy level 3) and that they are capable of analysing, breaking information into sub-parts and drawing conclusions based on this data (Bloom's taxonomy level 4)

Assessment criteria - excellent (5) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Student will achieve this level by: participating the minimum required amount on face-to-face classes / written report includes the essential content (ref: study plan) / student (or /-s) prove with their written output (both content and form) to possess exceptional knowledge & skills, parallelly combining already existing, original material with by themselves provided, value-adding information or knowledge in such a manner that this process will provide entirely new information (deductions, implications, applications, discoveries, summaries) /students have proven that they master all the earlier described Bloom's taxonomy levels (1-4) and are additionally capable of innovating and differentiating in their work all the acquired knowledge (Bloom's taxonomy level 5) - The highest level possible to acquire is Bloom's taxonomy level 6 which is to state that learner has obtained the highest level maturity possible - meaning that the learner can also critically observe his or hers learning process's outcomes and is autonomically capable of enhancing his or hers cognitive mental schemas, further to enhance learning efficiency

Objectives (course unit)

The student knows the basic principles and theories of human resource management. They understand the key concepts of work psychology and the differences between work cultures in the international environment. The student understands the connection between the know-how, well-being and performance of the personnel of the industrial unit, eg IoT / Big Data utilization in operational development.
The student is familiar with the company's strategy process and tools and understands the importance of strategy for the company's operations.
The student knows the principles of the work community change process, is able to motivate and reward the employees of the industrial unit in an appropriate way. The student is able to evaluate and develop himself / herself as a supervisor taking into account also sustainable development (social responsibility).
The student is familiar with the core content of the labor legislation of his / her field and is able to draw up an employment contract for an employee of an industrial company. The student is familiar with the different stages and regulations of the recruitment process and the dismissal process.

Content (course unit)

human resource management, strategy process, change management, self-management, motivation, employment law, employment contract

Location and time

Conjoint face-to-face processing between participants takes place in class room according to syllabus. Peer-groups decide to themselves the place and time for the peer-group processing, during those weeks which has been agreed to. It is also possible for teacher and students to construct timetable during the course, if need occurs. In case of pandemy teaching will take place with the help of digital tools.

Exam schedules

An exam will be organised only upon joint agreement between responsible teacher and course attendants. Baseline is that no exam will be held on this course (instead peer-groups will provide jointly one portfolio - portfolio process will be explicitly explained in the beginning of the course).

Assessment methods and criteria

The course will be assessed based on a written peer group work (=portfolio). All the rehearsals during the course will affect on the course note if connected to portfolio and presented as part of it. Group size, reporting, modus operandi, all will be closer discussed on first classes. NOTICE! With a joint agreement between teacher and students any part of the course can become subject to modifications. The grading will take place by teacher reflecting the (through Urkund's plagiation prevention platform) delivered final portfolio against Bloom's taxonomy - depending which level the peer-group members have achieved with their portfolio, decides for the note. NOTICE! Peer-groups are entitled to fire such a member who, regardless of exhortations is unable to follow the guidelines, agreed upon by the peer-group internally. Such a (dismissed) member's note for the course will be zero (0).
The general evaluation criterias of TAMK are considered as well: https://www.tuni.fi/opiskelijanopas/kasikirja/tamk?search=arviointi&page=2198

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Processive learning, interactive discussions, rehearsals (written & oral). Can include also other type of activities

Learning materials

Teacher will define material to be used in the beginning of the course. During the entire course e-material will be provided and updated in cloud (/Moodle or equivalent platform). Each student is strongly encouraged on individual, preferably most focused, relevant data mining from any chosen source (dissertations / articles / magazines / literature / media / interviews / web) - the use of such sources will be further addressed and explained in the beginning of course.

Student workload

Course entity is thus planned that student's time usage equals at each time Tamk's preset requirement. Face-to-face occurring class room educational activities is only a part of the students' work load. Another part of student work is all the processing that takes via peer groups, e.g. in form of discussion, analytical processing of information and additionally continuos development of course report (=portfolio) throughout the course. Third part of students' work is individually performed data mining and principles of knowledge managing - each peer group are urged to agree on peer-group internal rules of conduct to be strictly followed during the entire course.

Content scheduling

Lectures & peergroup weeks take turns during entire course - however, changes to this may occur due to overlapping of excursions, Tamk-activities or other curriculum reasons. In such cases teacher usually informs peergroups by email or other, jointly agreed manner.

Completion alternatives

Should the group noting be rejected (;note = "0"), the peer group can re-edit their written report twice. After third hand-over of the report the entire course will be considered as failed, after which the entire course is to be taken anewly. Missing, single attendances can be substituted by participating any other later remittance on the same course. Out of a special reason a single student can equiponderate mangel on performance with an assignment individually agreed with responsible teacher. Baseline is however (taking notice of the networking-, interaction- and organisation skills) that this course will be carried out in form of a peer group work ONLY - this is to be understood as an emphasis towards individual responsibility acting as a productive member of an peer group.

Practical training and working life cooperation

No practical training is foreseen, but it is preferred that participants actively promote during the entire course their connections and understanding to comply with course outline. All the co-operative measures towards industrial, economic and business life such as direct contacts, interviews, data collecting or own work life practices are considered as additional value for course accomplishing.
Industrial & business cases are usually used as example.

International connections

It is preferred, that participants actively promote during the entire course their international connections and networking. Additionally can be agreed on separate arrangement for students to acquire special knowledge or information recarding international activities.

Further information

Entire course is strictly focused on peer group working, with help of which the presented substance will be reflected towards peer-group chosen portfolio goal. Used pedagogy is processive learning. As active mind setting as possible, parallelly working as a group, is worthwhile - there is a strong correlation between better grading and intensive group work. All the group member will receive equal note of the course. Each group defines their working rules, which team members are obliged to follow the entire duration of the course. Additionally, each group is entitled to expell any fellow teammate that is not honouring jointly established rules.

Assessment criteria - fail (0) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Should a student fail to actively participate throughout the course, such a performance will not be acknowledged. Should a student not have been participating to the portfolio process during any of its lifecycle stages, such a performance will not be acknowledged either (regardless of being enlisted to the course). Each peer-group will agree upon their rules & code of conducting, describing clearly the principles regarding their own working & processing - each peer-group have a right to dismiss/fire such a team member who, regardless of exhortations from the peer-group, has failed to participate on peer-group's work at an acceptable manner. Also: once peer-group will handover their portfolio for final evaluation, they will state the authors of the portfolio on its deck-page - any peer-groupmember's name missing from the deck-page acts as a signal towards teacher that such a student has become dismissed; note for stuch a students = null (0).
