    Important update:

    Due to the popularity of this course, we have to split into three groups. The group division and the corresponding classrooms are the following:
    Group 1: lastname from A to Mar, classroom Maari-C at Maarintalo
    Group 2: lastname from Mat to Pel, classroom Maari-E at Maarintalo
    Group 3: lastname from Pir to Z, classroom U351 at Undergraduate Centre     (Kandidaattikeskus). Furthermore, and this is important, as the Undergraduate Centre is closed on weekends, we have to use the M ENTRANCE OF U WING (see the map) main entrance exclusively. M-wing entrance is indicated in the map screenshot. However, if come late and the door is closed, please contact me via mobile (045 8778288) if the door is locked.
