Further information

IMPORTANT IMPORTATION
The Finnish Covernment has given several new orders because of the current Corona virus (Covid19) pandemia. The situation forces the university to make some changes to contact lessons as well as the type and the form of exercise(s) and the exam of this course. The basic principle of the course will be still the same, but we have to use innovative methods to fullfill the course and to make the end of the course exam.

No changes has been made to any other text in this plan, this text explains all the necessary changes which will happen between the middle of March - the end of the course.
