General
Warm welcome to the Designing for Services course 2021!
We will be updating relevant course information in Mycourses keeping in mind the current restrictions of the pandemic situation in Finland.
Please visit the syllabus for more information about the course. All classrooms and links for online lectures below in Time schedule.
When you have any questions regarding the course practicalities, for example if you are not able to attend the class physically, please address them
to teaching assistant Annukka Svanda annukka.svanda at aalto.fi. She will gladly reply to any concerns.
IMPORTANT! This course is a 10 credit Master level course and it requires full presence for the six weeks time. We strongly recommend not to have any other courses simultaneously. In addition
to the lectures on Monday afternoons and Wednesday and Friday mornings, the course has a case study project in collaboration with the
City of Espoo that will require active group work and presence on other times of the week. Please consider also your future group members when planning your possible other time schedules so that you are available for meetings. For any questions, please contact us.
