Details on XAMK Courses?

XAMK quizzes/exams do not have proctoring. They promote honesty with tight timers on the quizzes/exams. You usually get an average of 1-2 minutes per question, but it depends on the teacher. For instance, for a 10-question quiz, you usually get 10 minutes to complete everything. For a 40 question exam, you might get an hour for the whole thing. Again, this varies.

Some of them do require essays/similar projects. Read the course description first to see if it mentions these. For instance, their Strategic Management course ( https://www.xamk.fi/en/open-amk-courses/...5-ects-cr/ ) says:

The completion of the course is based on the student's own active work; familiarisation with materials, answering exams, carrying out written work and peer reviews in an electronic workshop. Course schedules must be followed. More detailed instructions on the course's Learn website.

The assessment is based on the total score collected by the student from the exams, written assignment and peer review they have completed. The score given by the written assignment and peer review is determined by the automation of the Learn page of the course.

The intro to video games certificate courses require a couple of easy opinion essays (favorite game, what you play now, stuff like that) with pretty lenient pass/fail grading, a few quizzes/exams, and also (obviously) video games project files. I.E., creating a character in Blender or programming a short game in Unity. The certificate is unlike the other XAMK courses and is not indicative of the XAMK experience.
