    Teaching methods and instruction

    This course is conducted in the form of face-to-face teaching, which means that we have face-to-face sessions for approximately 3 hours once a week on Mondays. According to Haaga-Helia’s new attendance practices, attendance is required during the scheduled teaching sessions. If you are absent from more than 25% of the sessions, your grade will be reduced by one point. If you are absent from more than 50% of the sessions, the course will be failed. Absences do not need to be reported separately, and their reason does not matter.
    Absences cannot be compensated with additional assignments.
