Exam schedules

Kurssiin ei kuulu tenttiä: arvosana perustuu kahteen kirjalliseen raporttiin.

Assessment methods and criteria

Läsnäolovelvollisuus 80 %. Kaikki tehtävät hyväksytysti tehtyinä. Structure and Function of Ecosystems -kurssiin kuuluva essee suomeksi 1/2 arvosanasta, arviointiraportti 1/2 arvosanasta.

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Erilaiset kirjoitus- sekä tekstinhuoltoharjoitukset, prosessikirjoittaminen, opetuskeskustelu, pari- ja ryhmätyö sekä lyhyt puhe-esitys ajankohtaisen, oman alan materiaalin pohjalta.

Learning materials

Opettajan Moodleen liittämä ja linkittämä materiaali sekä vapaavalintainen suomenkielinen oman alan kirjallisuus.

Student workload

Koska tunneilla on 80 %:n läsnäolovelvollisuus, opiskelijan on kannettava vastuu säännöllisestä osallistumisestaan, jottei kurssi keskeydy. Arvioitavat kirjalliset raportit ovat suurimmat oppituntien ulkopuolella tehtävät työt. Koska toinen raporteista tehdään Structure and Function of Ecosystems -kurssityönä, integraatio vähentää kevään raporttien kokonaismäärää. Kuitenkin oppituntien ulkopuolinen kirjoitustyö vaatii huomattavasti keskittymistä ja aikaa.

Content scheduling

Ensimmäinen raportti saatetaan alkuun heti kurssin alussa, jälkimmäinen raportti (Structure and Function of Ecosystems -kurssiin kuuluva essee suomeksi) palautetaan siinä vaiheessa, kun se on määrätty palautettavaksi SFE-kurssille. Kurssin sisältörunko hahmottuu Moodleen.

Completion alternatives

Practical training and working life cooperation

Ei ole.

International connections

Oman ryhmän monikulttuurisuuden hyödyntäminen toisessa raportissa.
