Exercises
If you miss some exercise session (e.g. the first week because of travels), please study the problems on your own. You can still continue the course.
There are several exercise groups in the course. Please attend one of them weekly and arrive in time in order to get exercise points from the homework.
The homework marks are checked at the beginning of each exercise session with attendance list which is filled at the beginning of each exercise session. One student is then randomly selected to present their work. The presentation can be R code, powerpoint show, whiteboard drawing, photograph of your hand-written solutions, latex, word, live drawing with paint - which ever you prefer as long as you are confident to give a short explanation of your work. Please remember that your solution does not need to be correct - an attempt is enough - and that the assistant is there for you to complement and help to communicate your work if needed Exercise Points
You can find the exercise points at the course ppp site. Note, the points will be uploaded with a short delay, however, if you see that you are missing points or the points are incorrect, contact the teaching assistant of your group.You can find the group times and locations in SISU and in the table above.
The course exercises consist of two kinds of problems, homework problems and class problems.
- Homework problems: the first problem(s) of each week's programming exercise sheet is a homework problem which must be completed before that week's exercise session. In addition, for each week we have one theoretical problem given in a separate PDF file. Bring your solution to the homework problems with you to the exercise sessions (exception: first week's exercise). In the beginning of the exercise session, the course assistant will randomly ask some people who have solved the homework problem to present their solutions to everyone.
- Class problems: the remaining problems of each week's exercise sheet are class problems that will be solved together in the exercise sessions.
Additionally, some of the homework and class problems are optional. And although no points will be awarded from them, you are still heavily encouraged to go them through.
Exercise points will be awarded from the sessions as follows:- 1 exercise point for actively attend the exercise session
- 1 exercise point for completing the theoretical homework problems
- 2 exercise points for completing the programming homework problems
If you are unable to attend your own group, you are allowed to attend any of the other groups. If, on a given week, you cannot attend the exercises at all, contact the head assistant (Markus Hirvensalo) by e-mail. Note that you need an extremely good reason for getting the points without attendance!
3. Assignment sheets
The planned assignment sheets can be found below. Note, the homework problems are given in the next week's problem set (e.g. week 2 homework is found in the week 2 problem set). Each weeks theoretical homework problems are found in the problem set folders.
The model solutions will be downloaded in the respective week's folder after the week's last exercise session.
