3. The winners of Tursajaiset has been announced!
Tursajaiset is now over and it’s time to announce the winners of the event. There were many teams with same amount of points so we had to raffle the winner from the best groups. There were also so many great costumes so it was hard to choose the best costume theme.
Here are the winners:
HIGHEST SCORES: Sateenkaariperhe / 22SOD
BEST TEAM COSTUME: Minionit / 22MUPE, 22MUTE
Congratulations to the winners! Winners will be contacted through email. Thank you for participating the event!
If you were in the event and don’t have Tursajaiset overall patch already, you can come pick it up at Tamko’s office.
4. The new price for student lunch
The price of student lunch has increased by 0,50€ in most student restaurants since 1.10.2022.
The reason for the price increase is the increased costs due to inflation.
The new price for a student lunch is 3.20€ instead of the previous €2.70€.
Reminder: By showing your Tamko’s student card, you get a -0,10€ discount on Campusravita’s student lunch.
5. Student, share your experiences and views on learning and studying in higher education
Finnish Education Evaluation Centre (FINEEC) evaluates the state and reform of higher education pedagogy in Finland. Important part of the evaluation is a survey for higher education students. The aim of the survey is to obtain diverse information on students’ experiences and views on learning and studying in higher education.
FINEEC hopes that every higher education student will respond to the survey based on their own experiences of studying. Everyone’s answer is important.
The survey is open until 7.10.2022. Responding takes around 20-25 minutes.
More information on the evaluation: Evaluation of the state and reform of higher education pedagogy
Once the evaluation has been completed, the responses will be archived, and they can be handed over for research use. The answers that will be archived will be anonymised. The results of the survey will be reported in a way that makes it impossible to identify individual respondents.
Thank you for participating in the evaluation!
