The student confirms his / her place with the implementation of the course by being present at the beginning of the teaching or otherwise in a manner separately agreed with the teacher, which can be, for example, the return of the first learning task. If a student is unable to attend the beginning of teaching due to illness, he or she can also confirm his or her place of study by notifying the teacher in advance. Admission to the course is conditional until the Prerequisites specified for the course have been reviewed. If the registered student does not participate in the implementation, the teacher responsible for the course will remove the student from the implementation within two weeks of the start of the Study. Registration times are defined in the annual learning activity clock. (Degree Regulations Section 32)

Course feedback is collected from the implementation, which is an important part of the teaching and operational development work. By giving feedback, you have the opportunity to influence the content of the study courses and the development of teaching.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to create ideas and sketches, but it cannot replace the student's own thinking and writing answers. The student must openly and transparently describe how and at which points in the work he has used artificial intelligence tools. More detailed instructions on the use of artificial intelligence and reference instructions in student's Oma.
