This field indicates the date and time of the actual exam and all retake opportunities.
There will be no exam on this course!
- Every student reserves a 20 min evaluation slot, where they will show their end results (portfolio) to verify the skills and knowledge required to pass the course
- The evaluation will be carried out with 1-on-1 conversations together with the course teacher(s)
- The reservation of the evaluation slots will be made possible through the learning platform
The date and time of the evaluation:
- From mid December to January
- Exact dates and the chances to retakes are announced during the course
Description
Content and dates
This section describes the scheduling of the course. Meaning what happens every week (rhythm, timing, weekly tasks, mandatory parts of the implementation)?
Weekly scheduling of the course:
~3,5 hours per week for mandatory in-class activities (Lectures for theory and examples + Demo lectures for implementation and testing)
~6-7 hours per week of independent work relating to the tasks (weekly and other), module assignments, preparing for the lectures, and end product work (everything should further the student's end product)
This means that you should reserve ~9-11 hours of working time every week for this course!
The course consists of 5 modules:
- Modules are 3-5 weeks long
- Every module is mandatory and has weekly in-class activities and independent work
- At the end of each module, there is a mandatory module assignment that checks the student's progress and module-related understanding and skills
- Detailed module contents and length will be available in the learning environment
The course starts with a 3 week long module. The module focuses on the course introduction, setting up the tools and environments as well as taking the first dive into the course topic. By the end to the 1st module every student must have fill the following criteria:
- Participated to all of the course in-class activities (marked participation)
- Returned the module assignment that has been accepted
- If 1 or more of the criteria is not filled, the student will be considered as inactive / withdrawn from the course (according to Jamk course resource requirements)
Every student in the course is expected to have an end product to show by the end of the course:
- The end product demonstrates the student's understanding and skills related to the topics of the course
- The course ends with final end result presentations and 1-on-1 evaluations in December
Learner's time use and workload
This section describes the learning assignments and the time needed for completing them and the student’s other scheduling.
The workload of 5 credits is 135 hours. The load is distributed the following way:
~50 hours of mandatory in-class work: Theory lectures and guided activities (demos for implementation and testing)
~85 hours of independent work: Tasks (finalising weekly demo tasks and others), module assignments, and preparing for lectures (finding information and reading literature). Possible sprint week or prototyping event. End product work and evaluation preparations.
Teaching methods
This field describes the methods of teaching and learning used in the implementation and how student guidance will be arranged.
A modified face-to-face model:
The primary mode of delivery is all of the activities in-class on campus, and only in special cases on-line.
However, if the COVID-19 or other similar situation requires the learning will be supported by on-line activities.
The activities will deepen the learning in the following possible ways:
- Theoretical lectures for theory and examples + Demo lectures for implementation and testing
- Individual and possible group work (implementation)
- Individual and possible group exercises, learning tasks (assignments) and reflection
- Guidance in the form of end result reviews and answered questions or help with challenges if requested
The course activities can also contain:
- Project-based learning
- Flipped learning (learning about the topic before theory lectures)
- Knowledge tests
- Topic specific focus teaching
- Topic specific research
- Database use for challenges/problems/tutorials (problem based learning)
Participation to possible on-line activities:
- Zoom is used for on-line activities
- Requires you to have a working webcam, headphones and microphone
- In Zoom the webcam is required to be on at all times!
- If one or more of the equipment are missing or not used, your participation can be declined
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI):
- The use of AI and AI-assisted tools is permitted and recommended
- Pure copying (plagiarism) is still prohibited and will result in appropriate penalties
- Any use of AI must be reported accordingly
Official communication channels:
- Course news (forum)
- Teams (primary) and email
- DiscordApp / WhatsApp / other comms are prohibited from the faculty members
- If you are prevented from coming to the lecture or demo, please let the teacher know beforehand!
- The sessions can be recorded and the links added to the workspace (recording permission will always be requested from the participants beforehand)
Optional complete methods of the study option
This field describes the alternative completion methods for the course.
You have the right to apply for recognition of your studies if you have prior learning (e.g. university studies completed elsewhere) that can be accredited towards the degree you are currently completing.
The recognition of prior learning is possible in the following ways:
- Accreditation of higher education studies (replacement or inclusion)
- Recognition of informal learning
