Osion kuvaus

  • This course is lectured for the seventh time in spring of 2021. All lectures will be held in Finnish, but all course documentation, instructions and lecture materials will all be in English. All lectures are online.

    Mandatory introduction lecture (2.3.2022 14:15 from TU-2 (Online)) - during the intro lecture we will go through the practicalities of the course. The introduction lecture will also be available in video. As we have to give out the physical object needed for the completion of the group assignment, each group has to come and pick up of the physical object. In order to enable social distancing and a safe lecture for everyone we will organize pick up (x.3.2022 at 16:00 - 17:00 and y.3.2022 12:15 - 14:00 at Maarintie 8 / TUTA). 

    Form groups before the intro lecture / pick up in the section Group forming. More info can be found in the section Group forming.

    ---------

    The course consists of lectures, videos, readings (see course book), a final exam and a group assignment. The book, videos and the lectures complement each other, and it is thus necessary to study the book also in order to succeed in the course / in the assignment.

    The lectures are held Wednesdays and Fridays in TU-2 lecture hall at TUTA. Additionally, we offer a live stream from each lecture. Moreover, a recording of each lecture will be available as the course proceeds. A complete set of lecture slides will be available prior every lecture.
