Skills demonstration in Finnish 2020 - 2021

Demonstration of competencies through skills demonstrations

The aim of skills demonstrations is to demonstrate competencies described in the learning goals of a course.

The modalities of skills demonstrations include presentations, exams (use of the Exam Room) and a simulation task, or a combination of them. Also work done by the student can serve as a skills demonstration if the student writes a learning diary about their work. The diary may consist of text, pictures and videos, or a combination of them. On occasions, a skills demonstration may be made as group work, in which, however, the individual’s performance is assessed (experience-based learning and team learning).  

The modality of the demonstration of the student’s competencies may have been defined in the decision on recognition or the student may be instructed to make a skills demonstration plan. (A template for skills demonstrations plan is under preparation). A skills demonstration may be preceded by a preliminary assignment, based on which a decision is made as to if the student can participate the skills demonstration (e.g. languages).

A student may participate only once in a skills demonstration related to a given topic, and a skills demonstration cannot be retaken. Unless the student passes the skills demonstration, they will attend the course.  If the student cancels a skills demonstration for illness or another weighty reason, the student shall produce proof of it, and the matter will be solved on a case-by-case basis.

Finnish skills demonstration 8 Feb. 2025 10 AM-3 PM

Become familiar with the contents of Finnish courses 1-4 here: Curricula 2023-2024 | Opinto-opas (seamk.fi).
In case you are already able to use the language as described in the course descriptions you have the option to demonstrate your competencies and earn the credit points.  

 

NB! You can take the demonstration of skills only ONCE. If you register for more than one course (e.g. Finnish 1 and Finnish 2 and Finnish 3) to demonstrate your skills and you fail in the Finnish 1 skills demonstration, you won't be able to demonstrate your skills in Finnish 2 and 3 because Finnish 1 is a prerequisite for Finnish 2 course.
