General
-
The news group for the course is hy.opiskelu.tktl.tili . It is meant mostly for the commucation between the students in the course. It you want fast answers from the lecturer, use e-mail. -
Slides used in the lectures (in Finnish)
and
problem sets (in English) for the exercises
are also available in the web.
- There is one course exam that gives maximum 50 points.
To pass you have get at least 25 points from the exam.
-
Exercises are important part of the course. They are not compulsatory, but
very very usefull. Active participation can give you up to 10 points. There is a special English group by Simone Leggio on Wednesdays
10-13 C454. The first meeting of is already on 21.1 10-11 C454.
The points from exercise activity are valid only in the course exam and in the exam on 15th of April 2003.
-
To get points from the exercises you have to participate actively in the
exercises. You have to do your homework and solve the given problems before
coming to the exercise group. It not demanded that your answers are absolutely
correct, it is enough that you try your best to solve the problems. In the
beginning of the exercise sitting you mark in the around going list those
problems you have solved. A mark in the list means that you are ready to
present and explain your solution to the group.
-
Each mark in the list gives you one solved problem point (SPP). As there will
be about 36 problems the maximum amount of SPPs will be about 36.
About 3 SPP gives one exercise point and 30-32 SPP gives the maximum 10 exercise
points. Other exercise points will be given linearly between those values.
-
To pass the course you have to get alltogether at least 30 points.
And at least 25 points of these from the exam. This 30 points gives you the
grade 1-/3. To get the best grade 3/3 you need 51 points. That is not possible
when attending only the course exam.
