Warmly welcome aboard!

Adult education center’s operations continue as before: everybody can enroll on the courses they desire and themselves decide on the goal-orientedness of their participation. Some of the courses will never turn into study-credit courses. The freedom of adult education center’s studies will remain in the future as well.

Traditionally, competence has not been assessed in our courses. Recognizing competence in study credit courses means that these courses have clearly stated goals, evaluation methods and criteria according to which the teacher evaluates the students who want to receive study credits from the course. Not all students of the course automatically receive study credits.

Anybody can enroll in a study credit course, but you don’t have to do any study credits. Students that aim for study credits and those who do not may participate in the same course. Common to all the participants is, however, that the course teaches all the issues specified in the learning goals. Also such skills that the course description states the students must master before attending the course apply to all the students. These skills will not be taught to any of the students during the course.

If you do not wish to collect study credits but are interested in more goal-oriented studying, you are welcome to participate in the course. At the beginning of the course, all participants can still decide whether they want to aim for study credits or not. You have to give an official consent aim for credits, but you can cancel your consent during the course if you change your mind.

You can find all study credit courses on Ilmonet by searching with the keyword study credit course or by selecting the category study credit course.
