Työmäärä toteutustavoittain (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

132 h in total (24 contact hours and 108 hours of independent work)

The course includes 11 hours of lectures, 10 hours of exercise sessions, and 3 hours of the exam. Before each session, the attendants independently study the book material (5 h x 10 = 50 h) and solve 3-4 home exercises (2 h x 10 = 20 h). In addition, each attendant prepares and holds two lectures (12 h of work in total) and two exercise sessions (6 h in total), including a 2 h meeting with the teachers. About 20 h will be spent to prepare for the exam.
