Location and time
Follow the TAMK intranet and course schedule from there. There will be also weekly schedule in the course Moodle.
Exam schedules
No final exam. The assessment is based on personal projects, the result of the projects and the documentation of the results and the implementation. Also keeping in the schedules is one part of the assessment.
More detailed instructions will be given in the practical work instructions.
Assessment methods and criteria
The final grade is based on personal projects which are checked against timetable, demands, documentation and the quality of the solution. Documentation details can be found from the assignment sections. Using the Onedrive cloud is also one part of the documentation. The details and the grading of the projects will be published in the first lectures. The details of the grading can be found also from course Moodle (Tabula).

Completion alternatives
Contact the course lecture.
One possible way could be to produce a set of self made and self designed video material concerning Office 365 environment. After that a suitable environmental engineering / energy engineering / water issues / mathematics (physics, chemistry) application problem could be solved and documented with enough examples and details.
No private (personal) guidance is given in this kind of way.
Further information
Follow the course Moodle.
