Implementation and methods of teaching

Self-paced online course.

Automatically checked assignments award points to complete the course. Assignments alone can pass the course, but higher grades require participation in an applied exam.

Send a message paivi.porras@lab.fi when you have registered. This way, you can get accepted to the course faster.

Learning material and recommended literature

will be announced at the beginning of the course

Exam retakes

It is possible to complete the retake exam in Exam Moodle, which is only available on the Lappeenranta and Lahti campuses. Exam visits are not possible.
