Suorituspäivät

Suorituspäivät is a Finnish term used primarily in educational settings to refer to days when students complete required performances or assessments. The word combines suoritus (performance or achievement) and päivä (day), and it is used to denote scheduled sessions within courses or programs when learning outcomes are demonstrated and assessed.

The term is commonly employed in universities, vocational schools, and secondary education to describe days on which examinations, practical demonstrations, presentations, laboratory tasks, or other performance-based assessments take place. Suorituspäivät are typically planned in the course’s assessment plan or the academic calendar and may occur in classrooms, laboratories, or exam halls.

On suorituspäivät, students are evaluated according to predefined criteria. Depending on the institution, a student may be allowed retakes or rescheduling if a performance cannot be completed on the designated date, subject to institutional rules and deadlines. Grades derived from suorituspäivät contribute to the course grade and may be combined with other assessment components.

The use of the term varies by institution; not all schools use the exact term, and in some contexts the same concept can be described with phrases such as “assessment date” or “examination day.” The concept is part of broader assessment practices that aim to document and certify a student’s demonstrated knowledge and skills.
