  Instructions for the exercises:
  

  The course grade will be based on the exam, but you can get additional points to the exam by doing the exercises. There will be five exercise sets during the course, and it is possible to get 12 points per set, i.e. a total of 60 exercise points are available. The exercise points will increase your course grade according to the following formula:

  \( \begin{equation} grade \, increase =\begin{cases} 0, & x \leq18 \\  \frac{x}{30}-0.6, & 18 < x < 48\\ 1, & x \geq48 , \end{cases} \end{equation} \)
  

  where x  =  your exercise points.

  In other words, more than 30 % of the exercises (more than 18 points in total) need to be completed to get additional exam points. Completing at least 80 % of the exercises (48 exercise points or more) increases your grade with one.

  To get exercise points you need to return carefully written solutions. You will not get any points if you give only the numeric answer.The solutions also need to be returned on time, solutions returned after the deadline will not be graded. The deadline is always next Monday after the exercise session at 10:15. Your answers to the exercises should be returned as a single PDF file using the submission box in MyCourses.

  Every week, there will be a classroom exercise session on campus and a virtual exercise session in Microsoft Teams (the students registered to the course will be added to the team later on). The content of both exercise sessions are the same.  Attendance to the exercise classes is not compulsory, but it is recommended to attend. During the classes you can get help for solving the exercises and any doubt related to them will be clarified. The first classroom exercise session on campus will be held on Thursday 17.9 at 8:15-9:45 (lecture room KE1, Kemistintie 1), whereas the first virtual exercise session will be held on Thursday 17.9 at 12:00-13:00.
