BIZ Tutors 2018

Group assignments are made with your tutor pair. Answer to questions for example in word document and send it to return section. (You may answer in Finnish or in English)

Premises. Find/visit/make sure that you know following places. Since exchange students are both bachelor’s and master’s level students, it’s important that you know BOTH Otaniemi and Töölö. If you have never visited Töölö or Otaniemi, DO SO before new exchange students arrive! We might also organize small tour in Töölö in August, where we show the most important places.
