Opetusmenetelmät

Blended learning implementation:

A Canvas learning environment is used to support the implementation. The study unit includes scheduled teaching and guidance both on campus and online. Online teaching is recorded and the recording can be viewed afterwards. The study unit includes working in pairs or groups. You will receive individual feedback for assignments from the teacher, and working life or peer feedback may also be utilised.

The course includes traditional lectures as well as online guidance, but the main emphasis is on the student's independent study, especially in the preparation of independent written work. The task is to analyze successful crime prevention projects and thereby learn about crime prevention.

The course also includes an online exam and the creation of a short video about one's own written work.
