Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

Mikäli sinulla on aiempaa osaamista, opintojakson voi myös näyttää. Tarkemmat ohjeet avainosaamisten näytöistä löytyy Moodlesta (Haaga-Helian avainosaamisten näytöt).

Tämän opintojakson näyttö muodostuu ennakkotehtävästä (Pre-Assignment) ja näyttötilaisuudesta (Presentation Day), jossa pidetään esitelmä ja tehdään Moodle-tentti.

1. Kirjoita ensin ennakkotehtävä (Culture Case) ja palauta se alla olevaan palautuskansioon. Tehtävä on palautettava 2 viikkoa ennen näyttötilaisuutta. Tehtävä arvioidaan hyväksytty / hylätty. Kun tehtävä hyväksytään, arvioija kutsuu sinut näyttötilaisuuteen.

2. Ennen näyttötilaisuutta laadi lyhyt (max 5 min.) esitelmä.
Mainitse nykyiset opintosi ja kerro sitten 1) työkokemuksestasi TAI 2) esittele toimiala, josta sinulla on työkokemusta. Huomioithan tässä opintojakson osaamistavoitteet!

3. Näyttötilaisuudessa kuulet myös muiden esitelmiä. Varaudu esittämään kysymyksiä kuulemistasi esitelmistä.

4. Näyttötilaisuuteen kuuluu vielä Moodle-tentti (30min), joka tehdään esitelmien jälkeen.

5. Arviointi tehdään viikon kuluessa näyttötilaisuudesta.
Jos saat näytöstä arvosanan 3-5, arvioija kirjaa sen suoraan rekisteriin. Jos olet saamassa vähemmän kuin 3, arvioija ottaa yhteyttä sähköpostitse ja kysyy haluatko arvosanan rekisteriin. Näyttöarvosanaa ei voi korottaa.
