Study Guide

Implementation and methods of teaching

All lecturing material and exercises are open in moodle, so this course is meant to be studied at your own pace. There is one lecture at the beginning of the course, when main aspects are mentioned. There is a so called reception time once a month, but no actual lecturing.

The course is completed with moodle exercises and with an exam at the end of the course.

Lecturing material and exercises are in English, but the teacher may also speak in Finnish occasionally.

This course is highly recommended, if you are planning mastering your diploma.
