Topic outline
-
The course is organised mostly online in Zoom, but a few sessions with hybrid arrangements at campus (hybrid = possibility to attend remotely through Zoom). More detailed preliminary timetable for course contact sessions below.
General timetable and task deadlines:
The course applies student-centered and outcomes-based teaching and learning = the tasks and assignments are planned to address the intended learning outcomes (ILO) of the course, and the assessment is based on how well you perform in these exercises and how actively you attend the contact sessions. The contact sessions are not compulsory (except for the concept map tutoring session and final seminar), BUT due to reflective and participatory teaching methods, attendance is highly recommended (you will also earn points from attendance).
All the tasks and assignments need to be submitted to pass the course. Submission after due date decreases your grade. The evaluation criteria and grading of the course will be presented during the first contact session 3 Oct and the same information can be found afterwards in the session slides.

On this page you’ll find information on the online practicalities of the course. A more general guide with more information by Aalto can be found here.
All online sessions will be held in the same zoom-room: https://aalto.zoom.us/j/65763353438, unless otherwise specified in course announcements. Also remote participation in the campus sessions through the same link.
1. Zoom
Activate your Aalto Zoom
By activating your Aalto Zoom account you’ll receive access to a full Zoom license and you can create your own meetings for your group (see later on this page). We recommend using the Desktop App to ensure you are able to participate in breakout room discussions.
To activate your Zoom account, follow the instructions at https://www.aalto.fi/en/services/zoom-quick-guide
2. Recordings
Note that the lectures and exercise sessions will be recorded. The teacher will always let you know when the recording starts and stops. The recordings will be shared only with the students taking this course. If you don’t want to be seen or heard during the recording, keep your mic muted and camera off. There will be a possibility to ask questions after the recording. Even though you are able to watch the lectures later, we strongly recommend you to attend teaching sessions live: you learn more as you can participate in the discussions and you ensure you keep up with the pace of the course. You will also earn points from attending the teaching sessions.
Note: discussions in the breakout rooms are not recorded even if the main session is recorded.
Practicalities during Zoom sessions:
- Keep your mic muted if not talking
- While in breakout rooms, we recommend you to keep your video on when possible
- If
you have questions, use the raise hand -action, chat or unmute your
mic. In exercise sessions, use raise hand -action to ask for help (you
will be directed to a breakout room when the teacher or assistant is
available to help you)
Using the raise hand -action
1. Click the Participants button.
2. Click one of the icons to raise hand or provide feedback. Remember to click the icon again to remove it.
Note: You can only have one icon active at a time.
