      AssignmentReading assignment(s) for CS 4 (Friday 4.5.2018)

      Read one or both of these (or I could still recommend you to read both of them, in order to get a larger picture)

      1. The Quality Handbook of your own school (these are found Inside, go first to your school)

      2. Aalto University Audit report 2016

      The second one (Audit report) is rather long - please read selectively parts describing teaching in different degree levels (in chapter 6 pages 37-57), key strengths and development areas.

      If you are interested in, you can find more information on national audit & quality systems in Finnish higher education in here https://karvi.fi/en/higher-education/

      Karvi (FINHEEC) was the national body, which is the responsible actor in the audits, although in Aalto-audit we had an international panel.

      or in European Union-level http://www.accreditedqualifications.org.uk/european-qualifications-framework-eqf.html

      We will use these as background material when doing groupwork and tasks in the next time
