Completion alternatives

Ei valinnaisia suoritustapoja. Mikäli opiskelija on työskennellyt pelastajana tai perustason ensihoitajana (lähihoitaja), voi hän saada teoriaopinnoista pedagogisen ratkaisun. Asiasta sovitaan opintojakson vastuuopettajan kanssa. Tämän opintojakson vastuuopettajana toimii Satu Lindgren

Further information

Opiskelija vahvistaa paikkansa opintojaksototeutuksella olemalla läsnä opetuksen alkaessa tai muutoin opettajan kanssa erikseen sovitulla tavalla, joka voi esimerkiksi olla ensimmäisen oppimistehtävän palautus. Jos opiskelija ei sairauden vuoksi pysty osallistumaan opetuksen alkuun, hän voi myös vahvistaa opiskelupaikkansa ilmoittamalla siitä opettajalle etukäteen.

HUOM! Opettajan laatimat tehtävät ja MATERIAALIT ovat Tekijänoikeuslain (404/61) mukaisia teoksia, joihin opettajalla on tekijänoikeus. Tehtäviä JA MATERIAALEJA ei saa käyttää muuten kuin omissa opinnoissaan. Niiden julkinen levittäminen on sallittua vain opettajan luvalla.
