Content scheduling

Suoritus koostuu luennoista, harjoituksista, harjoitustöistä ja tentistä.
Harjoitukset: Ajoissa palautetut harjoitukset kerryttävät pisteitä.
Harjoitustyöt: Opintojakson kuluessa jaetaan kolme harjoitustyötä. Ratkaisut on palautettava arvioitaviksi annettuun päivämäärään mennessä. Myöhästyneitä ratkaisuja ei arvioida. Ajoissa palautetut harjoitustyöt kerryttävät pisteitä.
Tentti: Opintojaksosta pidetään vain tentti, välikokeita ei ole.
Kokonaisrvosana koostuu harjoituksista, harjoitustöistä ja tentistä kertyneistä pisteistä.
