Course description (T)
The templates (docx) for the description of the course and implementation can be found in the Documents section of this page.
NOTE! Be aware of the effect of the changes you make to a course:
- If a single course belongs to several curricula or study modules, any changes made to it will also update to all the elements it has been linked to.
- You can check the course links to curricula or separate study modules in the course: Links to curricula and separate study modules.
- If the course is included in an already approved curriculum, its name, credits, learning outcomes or content may no longer be changed.
- See the principles of creating a course on the Courses page.
Before you can enter any course description details, basic information must be created for the course. At Jamk, course basic information can be created by the planning officer of the unit concerned. Click here for instructions on how to create the basic information.

Descriptions are mostly free-text fields that are intended for specifying in more detail the content of the course, the learning objectives and the assessment criteria. At Jamk, this information is filled out by the person responsible for the course. Peppi course description and implementation description templates as well as more detailed instructions are available at the bottom of this page under Documents.
• All course descriptions are written in both Finnish and English.
• Type the Finnish descriptions in the ‘In Finnish’ fields and those in English in the ‘In English’ fields.
• If the course will be offered in both Finnish and English, only one course will be prepared. In this case, the descriptions must, of course, be provided in both languages.
• The course evaluation scale is default 0-5. The course evaluation scale is not populated from the course to the implementation.
