Opintojakson kuvaus

The student is able to:

• define environmental risk management compliance requirements, best practices and apply those
• define environmental threats and analyse their impact to organisations’ operations
• assess and manage environmental risks
• create environmental risk management procedures and guidelines

The course consists of an orientation and five modules on different subject areas. Modules 1-4 consist of an online lecture, review questions, an assignment and a midterm exam. In the last module, a final task that brings together the subject areas is prepared.

Each module has tasks and at the end there is a short exam, which, if passed, allows you to move on to the next module. At the end of the course, there is still a final assignment that gathers all subject areas.

The course modules are

• Key regulation
• Environmental management and risk management
• Sustainable development

Arviointikriteerit

The grade for the course is formed based on intermediate exams. The course also includes other tasks that do not affect the grade, but they must be completed in order to progress in the course.

Each intermediate exam is evaluated according to the evaluation table below, i.e. to pass the exam, you must get at least 40% of the answers correct. In the overall grade, the intermediate exams are taken into account with equal weights.

Each exam can be attempted three times, of which the highest score remains valid. The retakes of the failed performance according to the degree regulations are thus part of the implementation.

Grading scale 5 < 94% – 90% 4 < 90% – 75% 3 < 75% – 60% 2 < 60% – 50% 1 < 50% – 40% 0 < 40% – 0%
