For the exam: Chapters 2-8, 12-13, 17-18 (not 4.4-4.10, 17.3) and lecture notes/slides
Evaluation:
The course is accomplished by returning five assignments (30 points each, scaled to 15 final points (=divided by ten)) and doing the mini-exam (15 points), with total of 30 points. Participation in Metsähovi session is also compulsory, not graded.All the assignments need to be returned and accepted with at least 10 point and the exam needs to yield at least 50% of the points to pass the course. The limits for the grades are:Points Grade15-17 118-20 221-23 324-26 427-30 5
