Checklist for implementations (Peppi)

Checklist for the assessment of a course implementation description

You can use the checklist either for assessing your implementation or ask your colleague to assess it.

First, create an implementation in accordance with the instructions in Peppi. Review your implementation in the student view either via the study search or on the Curricula page.

Clarity and comprehensibility

1. The language is clear general language without complex sentence structures.
2. The description is not missing essential or critical information from the perspective of studying.

Consistency of content

1. The described methods, contents, materials and use of time match the intended learning outcomes of the course.
   • For example, how does the chosen pedagogical method apply to evaluation? Is formative and continuous evaluation reflected in the implementation description?
2. Information on any prerequisites is mentioned with the course.

Information provided for study practices

1. Information that the student must demonstrate their activity within three weeks from the start of the course. This is a prerequisite for studying in the course. (Does not apply to nonstops.)
2. The teaching and study methods as well as guidance has been described from a student-oriented perspective.
   • For example, if the implementation involves webinars, say: “To participate in webinars, you need a working camera, headphones and microphone.”
3. In blended learning, the contents and locations of distance and contact learning are described separately.
   • For example, contact learning at the main campus, distance learning online, exercises in the main campus laboratory, or exercises simulated online.
4. Alternative methods of completion are explained, such as studification. Also mention if there are no alternative methods of completion.
5. Working life orientation is mentioned.
   • For example, tasks are applied to working life, visits to workplaces, collaboration projects, and content designed together with working life.
6. The ‘Exams and retake possibilities’ field has to indicate whether or not there is an exam.
7. The content scheduling is described. What happens during which week (rhythm, timing, weekly assignments, mandatory elements of the implementation)?
8. The timetable and time management are described realistically (1 credit = 27 hours).
   • Time management is guided, for example, by saying ‘Reserve approximately 4-6 hours per week for studying in this course.
9. The evaluation methods are described in the ‘Further information for students’ field.
