  Contents

  This course will be implemented as a project, with project management methods. Student will sign a project contract with Haaga-Helia at the start of the course. Students will be assigned to certain teams based on prior knowledge, available projects, required and mastered language (Finnish and/or English) and needs of each project.
  
  Students will implement and demonstrate ready-to-use solutions to the customer. Students will learn the needs of the customer, specify and plan the solution and agree with the customer upon the used technologies, that are the best-suited ones for this problem, considering also the team’s initial skill level and learning goals.

  Assessment criteria

  Assessment criteria - grade 5

  Accepted grades 1-5
  
  Assessment will be based on student’s skills and efforts in the above-mentioned course contents. The emphasis of the grade will be the following:
  - Researching new technology and tutoring others 15%
  o Student will take responsibility of studying one or more technologies needed in the project and teaching it/them to the others e.g. in a workshop.
  - Project management and project final essay 35 %
  o Student has many role- or competence-based tasks and responsibilities in the project. Students devise and maintain appropriate project management and progress monitoring documentation and take care of project trackability and traceability both from internal and external controls’ points-of-view. Student reflects his/her as well as the team’s actions in the final essay.
  - Appropriate documentation of the results and the technical solution that fulfills customer’s needs 50 %
  o Often most of the costs of an information system come from maintenance and changes. Also, the future developers of the system are different from the original developers. Thus, we put a big emphasis on the quality of the documentation, source etc. code, and automated testing and continuous integration – the professional development pipeline.
  o Quality of the documentation does not mean lengthy or all-covering documentation, but that needed and most valuable information is available and only that. Also, high-quality code is often self-explanatory.
  
  Examples of results and tasks that will be evaluated per project team
  - Software requirements: defined, audited, and accepted by the customer
  - Technical requirements: defined, well-argued, and accepted by the customer
  - Source etc. code: in common version control system
  - Testing: testing planned, plan accepted by the customer, corresponding tests run, and test report published
  - Project and work management: appropriate project management (external control) and agreed practice (internal control) documentation, following the agreed timelines, and sound communication.
  
  The Commissioner gives evaluation of each of these parts or results
  
  Examples of results and tasks that will be evaluated per each student
  - Integrity and trustworthiness. Taking responsibility for oneself and of the team.
  - Research and tutoring: The technology that was the responsibility of the student has been taken into use in the team appropriately. Technology was taught to others based on the need. Student has been able to reflect his/her own responsibility area.
  - Development tasks: The student’s completion of the responsibilities in planned timeframe (implementation days, sprint, …) and the quality awareness and assurance (e.g. definition of done).
  - Project final essay.

  Learning objectives

  The purpose of the course is to acquaint students with scientific research method and scientific writing. Besides contact teaching, the course involves plenty of independent work. Every student will plan and carry out an independent IT-related research project: choose a topic, plan a timetable, apply the chosen research method, and present the results in a written academic report and an oral presentation. In the course of the Writing Business Report, oral presentation skills and the genre of academic writing will be briefly recapitulated. Students are also required to peer-review each other’s assignments. Students are to revise their written documents during the course, if necessary, after the lecturers in charge of the course and a peer student have reviewed them with comments.
