A minimum of two activity points are needed to pass the course, four activity points will increase a passed exam grade by one (i.e. 1 -> 2, 2 -> 3, 3 -> 4, 4 -> 5). Please observe that only a limited number of practical assignment topics will be available. For presentations and practical assignment reports, Web pages in English must be made consisting summary of the work done and references to material used in presentation. Those reports not intended for distribution (lecture notes, excursion reports) can be written in any language sufficiently understood the teachers (Finnish, Swedish, English, German). |
