Learning assignments
Training organized by Helga, tutor team meetings, practical peer guidance, small group activities, degree information events as needed, learning journal (report).
At the end of the tutoring period, each tutor fills out a tutor report that determines how many
credits are awarded for the activity. Tutoring hours are also documented, and 81 hours of
tutoring 3 credits and 135 hours of tutoring equals 5 credits. The tutor report is available on
Helga's website:https://helga.fi/en/materials/
The reports are sent to the Head Tutor, who checks the report and forwards it to Helga, who
checks the report and finally forwards it to Haaga-Helia, who transfers the credits to the
student's register.
Assessment methods
The course is evaluated on a Pass/Fail scale.
An approved grade requires the successful completion of the tasks included in the course. The number of credits for tutoring is linked to the number or tutoring hours completed, which are verified in the tutor pass. In addition, at the end of the course, the student will complete a self-assessment and learning journal report, in which they reflect on their own learning during the course.
