As was introduced by Haaga-Helia management in spring 2024, the new attendance policy has been made effective autumn 2025 onwards;
https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/current/news/haaga-helia-continues-offer-flexible-studies-updated-145

This means that:

Being absent more than 25 % of the scheduled lessons might reduce the course grade by 20 %
An absence of more than 50 % leads to disqualification (in this course if absent from 5 or more evenings)

Pedagogical approach in this course is Autonomous and Experimental Learning - and we follow "iterative and agile" way of working :)

A) First A lecture to the topic and introduction of related assignment(s)
B) “Independent study and testing"” where students get familiar with the topic and materials, look for information, engage with each other on the discussion forum and do some content creation / testing / analysis.
C) Analysis and discussion together before moving into the next topic

Note! As this course very much follows the iterative process of planning, ideation, testing, measurement, evaluation and development it is encouraged to identify a real life "test lab" and objective for the course assignments.

This could be, for example related to your own personal brand, company employee advocacy, improvement of customer engagement etc. It is not mandatory, and there are options for assignments that don't require testing but from the learning perspective testing something for real is ideal :)
