Topic outline

  • General

    This course is lectured for the fifth time in summer 2020. The intro lecture will be held in Finnish, but all course documentation and instructions are in English. 

    The course consists of the mandatory online intro lecture (10.6.2020 16:00) (https://aalto.zoom.us/j/66813840925), coursebook, individual essay, a final exam, and a group assignment. The book, lectures and group assignment complement each other, and it is thus necessary to study the book also in order to succeed in the course. The lecture slides and other materials will be posted in the Lecture materials section and Other materials section as the course proceeds.

      How to get points:

      Exam (weight 2/3):
      The pass line is 14/30. Therefore from your result on the exam 14 points are deducted and the sum is scaled by (2/3). You cannot pass the course without passing the exam.

               max= (30p-14p)*2/3= 10.666

      Group assignment and Essay (weight 1/3): 5p for the optional (but highly recommended) partial deliveries, 10p for the final report, and 3p for the essay. 

               max= 18*1/3= 6

      Bonus - Feedback: At the end of the course you will get a link to a webropol feedback. You can get 1 extra point for this feedback, however, this extra point is available only on the 1st exam. For example, if you give feedback, but pass the exam on the second time, you will not be granted this extra point.  

      Max= 10.666+6+1= 17.666
