Teaching methods

Opintojaksolla suunnitellaan päiväkoti. Suunnittelutehtävä tehdään parityönä.
Opintojakson suorittaminen koostuu harjoitustyön sekä sitä tukevien ja jäsentävien osatehtävien tekemisestä. Opintojakson suorittaminen edellyttää kaikkien osatehtävien ja harjoitustyön tekemistä hyväksytysti.
Opintojakson suorittaminen edellyttää min. 80% osallistumista opetukseen ja ohjaukseen.
Opiskelija toimii tutkivana opiskelijana, mikä edellyttää aktiivista roolia suunnittelussa ja tiedonhankkimisessa sekä osallistumista palautetilaisuuksiin ja tuntitehtäviin.

Student workload

Opintojakson suorittaminen hyväksytysti edellyttää 80% osallistumista lähiopetukseen ja ohjaukseen. Opiskelijan työkuorma on 27/op, joka sisältää lähiopetuksen sekä opiskelijan itsenäisen työskentelyn. Rakennusarkkitehtuurin opintojen laajuus ja harjoitustöiden tekeminen on mitoitettu kokopäivätoimisen opiskelun mukaan.
Suorituksen saaminen edellyttää, että kaikki osatehtävät ja harjoitustyö on suoritettu hyväksytysti.
