Topic outline

  • This course is targeted for students of USchool minor at Aalto and University of Helsinki. It takes place as a set of lectures/visits and online events to the three organizing units/departments (Aalto SCI, Aalto ARTS, UH Cognitive Science). Participation to all lectures/visits is mandatory. Passing the course requires participation and completion of the group assigments.

    Due to the covid-19 situation, many of the events are arranged online.

    Cross-university access to the online learning systems is a tiny challenge and may take some time for the new students. Therefore, we aim at keeping the participation to the initial events as openly available as possible.

Each group (1, 2, 3) gives a 15-minute presentation of their selected topic (introduction to the chosen "application", background, aim and focus of the work, approach and conceptual framing), work (process, method, steps) and outcome (results, conclusions, recommendations, future work) followed by a discussion/comments by all participants (you may identify some similarities with the "IMRAD" logic in this presentation structure). Groups should prepare for an online presentation.
