Opintojaksopalaute: Toteutuksesta kerätään opintojaksopalautetta, mikä on tärkeä osa opetuksen ja toiminnan kehittämistyötä. Palautetta antamalla sinulla on mahdollisuus vaikuttaa opintojaksojen sisältöön sekä opetuksen kehittämiseen. Palautteen avulla opettaja pystyy kehittämään omia toteutuksiaan ja opetusmenetelmiään myös muilla opintojaksoillaan. Rakentavan palautteen antaminen kehittää myös omia työelämätaitojasi. Opintojaksopalaute annetaan nimettömänä, eikä palautteen antajaa voida tunnistaa.
