The schedule of the exercises
The successful passing of the course requires the application of theoretical and practical skills presented in the lectures. This is done by doing exercises. The student should return the exercises so that they can be graded.
To be able to take the course it is required that at least 13 of the 28 exercises are correctly solved. If the student has solved 13 exercises, he/she will get 2 additional points to the examination. More points may be earned by solving more exercises. If all of the 28 exercises are correctly solved the student earns 6 additional points to the examination.
The participation to the exercise lectures is not obligatory, although it is recommended. However, the exercises are given in Finnish while all of the exercise material is provided in English.
The exercises should be returned before the exercise lecture to the box with the course code (s-38.110) marked under the laboratory notice board.
There will be six exercises in total:
