    Teaching methods: Aalto rules - Teaching arrangements (30 August 2021) Group choice

    As a rule, teaching (lectures + guided exercise cessions) of this course will be implemented remotely. 
    

    
    

    Depending on covid situation,  I try to find out for the possibility to organise an additional contact  class (2h/week) mainly to guide homework solving and answering students questions related to the topics of the week.  (limitted number of students as Covid situtation allow).
    

    
    

    Teaching which cannot be organised as remote teaching without significantly compromising the learning outcomes or quality of teaching will be organised on campus with due safety measures in place. As a rule, it is the responsibility of the departments and degree programmes to assess the need for on-site teaching on the basis of pedagogic viewpoints. However, teaching as a whole will be assessed from the viewpoint of the entire university and any changes to it are made in consultation with the schools. 
    

    
    

    Based on the rules above:  (possible changes may come soon ==> students will be informed on time)
    

    • The contact lectures will be arranged at lecture hall R2 (contact teaching) for maximum of 40 students
    • The same lectures will be online via Zoom (remote teaching) - Zoom link will be provided via myCourses
    • The weekly exercise sessions will be only remotely  online via Zoom (remote teaching) - Zoom link will be provided via myCourses

    • For the weekly exercise session purpuse, there will be formed 4-5 separate groups of max.15- 20. The groups will be identified by a a list of student numbers belonging to each group.   One assistant assigned to each group will be assigned in order to have reasonably short response  time for each student from the assistant. The groups lists and the assistant names for each group togather with zoom links will be provided before the cessions start.
