Has anyone else taken free ECTS-credit classes through XAMK Open Learn (https://open-learn.xamk.fi/)? I signed up for their rehabilitation diploma track, since it's an area I'm very interested in, but I'm a little lost as to how the two courses that have started actually work. E.g., lots of assigned readings, little guidance as to what is important to pay attention to, and class length (in weeks) seems to have little relation to the amount of material covered. Are all XAMK courses designed this way—basically self-study with a chance to earn credit by passing quizzes or writing assignments? Are we expected to be communicating with professors regularly in order to get the guidance that a syllabus or lesson structure would provide?
