    Dear all, 

    Welcome to the Venture Ideation course!

    Some basic information: 

    This course will be delivered online this autumn and requires mandatory attendance in online (Zoom) sessions.

    Links to the online sessions will be posted on the home page prior to the sessions

    Course hours posted in SISU are mandatory, except:

    the last hour each day which is optional (meaning Tuesdays 15.00-16.00 and Wednesdays 14.00-15.00)

    teams can continue working on Zoom if they want while I am around to help during the last hour of each day

    there can be up to three mandatory sessions missed in total, and a make-up assignment is necessary for each missed session.

    Please read the full syllabus section including the syllabus pdf  (guide to the course)  -  prior to the course start. 

    If you are a student who experiences limitations in attending online course sessions (e.g. you are outside Finland on a very different time zone or you have connectivity issues), please inform me as soon as possible so that we can discuss alternative arrangements.

    Please contact me generally if you have difficulty in attending a session ( e.g. due to sickness)

    Zoom links will be posted to the home page as we get closer to the course start
