    The course is meant for first year (entry) students in ICT Innovation Master's programme. However, all ICT Innovation students (entry & exit) are asked to sign up for the course as the MyCourses page will be used as a platform (with restricted access) to share the orientation week material. There is no need to unregister later.

    All course events will be online (e.g. Zoom). The links to the events will be added to this page before the start of the event. The events will be recorded and the recording will be added to Materials page on the following day of the event.

    The coordinator of the course is Aino Roms. Please send an email to aino.roms(at)aalto.fi if you have questions about the course.

    Note: You have two alternatives for lecture 4. The Express Introduction to Academic Writing workshop (two groups) has limited seats. The registration opens on 17 September at 4 pm (GMT+3). See more information in Lecture 4A and in Announcements.

    All events of the course have now been scheduled and the information in WebOodi is up to date.
