Signing up is done by registering in Oodi. In addition, the first lecture is mandatory. You will not be accepted to the course if you have not signed up and are not present on the first lecture.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for this course are T-110.2100 and T-110.4100. Other parallel courses offered by Electrical engineering department are ok. You will also need some some Unix/Linux experience, since you will need to use many command-line tools.

Passing the Course

The extent of the course is 4 credits. It consists of individual laboratory assignments and students must pass 4 of them in order to pass the course. Each assignment is a laboratory work and you will need to demonstrate each assignment. The demos are scored by course personnel. It is recommended that students familiarize themselves with the subject of an assignment beforehand, so that the assignment can be finished within reasonable time. Be aware, that the assignments vary in difficulty and amount of work.

The course is graded 0-5. You will need to get at least 75% of points total from the assignments to pass the course. This means, that should you have difficulty getting some of the assignments done, you can still pass the course by doing well in other assignments.

Important: The course is done individually. In the demonstration, you must prove the assistant that you done the assignment yourself. The assistant will ask detailed questions of your completed assignment and you should be able to explain what you have done . Plagiarism (i.e. copying from another source) is not tolerated, and will result in a failed assignment - or worse, failing the whole course, depending on the case .
