Ohjeita opiskelijalle osaamisen tasojen saavuttamiseksi
The grade of the course is determined based on the weekly exercises, laboratory exercises and final examination. If the student knows the core material well, there is a possibility to pass the course with grade 3. The supplementing knowledge must be also known in order to reach a grade of 4 or 5. If in the core material there are minor shortcomings, the student will have an opportunity for the grade 1 or 2 depending on the amount of the shortcomings. Activity in exercises gives the opportunity for the additional points in the examination. If there are considerable shortcomings in the knowledge of the core material, the student will not pass the course.
