Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

Depending on the implementation, learning takes place in contact lessons, as independent studies, teamwork and/or online-studies. The course includes the assessment of one’s own learning.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
If students have acquired the required competence in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another course, they can show their competence via a demonstration. The demonstration must be agreed with the course teacher. More information and instructions for recognising and validating prior learning (RPL) are available at https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/recognition-learning Look at "Instructions to students (master)"

Teaching methods and instruction

This is an intensive course in flipped classroom style. It requires students to prepare for the classes before and between the contact weekends and attend classes. The teaching methods include readings, active learning approaches, class discussions, short lectures and (critical) reflection of students' past and current experiences with work practices and organisations. These learning methods have been designed to foster the following meta competences: complex problem solving, critical thinking, people management, coordinating with others and congnitive flexibility. Please note that there is a pre assignment for the course. Instructions will be sent to registered students two weeks before the first contact day.
