Lähtötaso ja sidonnaisuudet muihin opintojaksoihin

The student must be ready for self-directed study planning, stand-alone information seeking on discussion forums and trial-and-error approach for completing hands-on exercises. No prior programming experience is required and all exercises are done using graphical software tools. However, very basic algorithmic skills are needed and the student must acquire these skills independently whenever needed.

Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

The course is based on self-studying in a fully virtual mode (time and location independent). All assignments are individual which makes it even more flexible time-wise. However, depending on the implementation it may contain additional visitor lectures that are not recorded.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
If a student has acquired the required competence in their previous work tasks, recreational activities or certified courses, for example, they can gain the course credits via a demonstration. The demonstration must be agreed with the course teacher. More information and instructions for recognising and validating prior learning (RPL) are available at https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/recognition-learning Look at "Instructions to students (master)"

Assessment criteria - grade 1

The student understands the basic concepts of robotic automation and its application for business process improvement. They manage the basic use of the automation tool and are capable of designing an automation of a simple task.

Assessment criteria - grade 3

The student has a good understanding of the robotic automation concepts and its application for business process improvement. They manage the use of the automation tool well and are capable of designing a business process automation.

Assessment criteria - grade 5

The student has an excellent understanding of the robotic automation concepts and its application for business process improvement. They manage the use of the automation tool excellently and are capable of designing a challenging business process automation.

Learning materials

The learning material is mainly composed of video lessons, articles, forum discussions, visitor lectures, software tools and their user's guides. The assignments include multi-choice quizzes, automation hands-on exercises and a final design assignment.

Further information

When the implementation type of the course is contact, online or blended it is required that the student is present during those teaching hours that are marked in the study schedule. If you are absent more than 25%, your grade will be lowered by one. If you are absent more than 50%, the course is failed.
