Hi, Final grades are now published in result page. Quite many has also additional opponing reports in Optima since those who were not able to participate all sessions have written opponing reports. Please check and get more feedback. Thank you for participating and making successful seminar!

Hi, Thank you for participating this seminar. The last task you have is to send the opponent report. More instructions are in the requirements page. As was warned in the last lecture, presence in the conference is compulsory and replacement work is given to those who are not present. I added instructions for those who missed sessions to the end of the above mentioned instructions in the requirement page. One session is forgiven, extra assignment is for those who missed more than one session.

Hi, If you are away from the seminar session(s), you will have extra assignment for compensating the absence. Please let the course staff know if you are away beforehand (six are missing the current session and only two of them have permission - I know you!).

Please give us suggestions how to improve this course! The spring feedback is open 27.4.-25.5.2009. Tell also if your are content or not with the help you got from your tutor. Since feedback is anonymous, if you really have had problems with the tutor, please contact course staff using course email address.

Hi, Remember to upload your presentation slides to Optima latest on Thursday 23rd April Midday. Either pdf or ppt are accepted, requirements page have more instructions about naming of the slides.

Check the requirement page for the opponent's tasks in more details: - before seminar: - check whose paper you are opponing - read the paper and make questions - in the seminar: - ask your question(s) - let others ask their questions, too - after the seminar (check deadline from the schedule) - write the opponent report - this includes the evaluation, not the question section in the presentation

Conference days schedule is published.

The last English lecture on presentations is this Friday. Please check the task that you should do before the lecture on the English course page.

The last days for making final modifications are at hand. Please use the final paper template for your submissions: comment the draft line out and uncomment the final paper line in your template.

Hi, Almost all opponents and some tutors have commented the papers. Now it is time to do the final modifications! The next deadline is the final one, after that modifications are not possible. The papers will be published in the course proceeding on the Internet, so please do such a paper that you can be proud of! Next week, the English teacher has one more time here to help you (check the schedule for details). I'll check on Monday that all tutors have done their job and find them if they have not commented your papers.

Please (please, please, please!) ask your questions in course's newsgroup so that anybody can see and answer. Also, your tutor is the person who should help you (and if he/she does not know, he/she can ask from me, Sanna, or in the newsgroup if you are too shy). Never just press "reply" to Noppa's news emails (at least use course's email address, but I do not give it to you here, since you should use the newsgroup). First of all, please read instructions in Noppa first. About everything is already answered here/there. BR.Sanna drowning in the email swamp

Hi, Please bring either a paper copy with you or an e-copy on a laptop to the meeting. Meetings are in A142.

Hi, Next task is to read the paper that you are opponing. Please check the pairs from opponents page. Instructions are in requirements page. Deadline is in the detailed schedule page and the opponenting is done using optima's commenting tool (the small yellow tag after the submission). (Couple of students has asked and have been given extra time until Sunday.) If you have any questions, please use course newsgroup. Then others can answer, too.

Please note that full paper deadline is near (Thursday 19.3. midday). Check the requirements of the paper from requirements page. Remember to use the correct template. If you are attending to small group meeting on Friday, please submit your paper (or a draft version of the full paper) as soon as possible using the old template, and again on Thursday using the new template.

Those who were not present today in the English class, you can fetch your paper from secretary Soili Adolfsson (room A110, she is usually present every day 8:00-15:15). Please do this as soon as possible, Roger has seen much effort for giving individual feedback to all students. For those who need most help, additional pair meetings with the English teacher are organized 20.3. (separate email sent). For others, couple of extra times is available. Reservations by sending email to course address.

Bring your laptop computer, if you have one. Bring an electronic copy of your draft paper or a paper copy. During the meeting, you improve your papers according to instructions. More details are in Detailed schedule and English course pages.

The first submission deadline is midday 12.2. Please check that you can get in to Optima and submit your paper. Paper have to be done using the course template's draft version (double spacing). Read more details in Requirements page.

Those students, who participated to the English course integrated in T-110.6120 last autumn, can get the one credit from the English course if they participate to the third English meeting on 3.4. and to the test other assignments given on that meeting. If you have questions, please ask in the course newsgroup.

But first, please ask your general questions in the course newsgroup. "Next, your tutor contact you" means that the tutor send you email, not vice versa. They have still couple of days time for doing that (you can read the Tutoring page, too). Please read first instructions on these noppa pages, then ask in the newsgroup or your tutor. We have now agreed with the language center that one extra credit can be given for those participating to the short English course this spring (final approval is still waiting for the next board meeting of language center). The sort English course is still mandatory part of this seminar course. Only those students who took the T-110.6120 seminar course (student numbers are listed in English course page) are exempt from the English sessions, but participation is recommended for them, too.

All students should bring a copy of a typical published paper from the field of their study. As far as it is possible to know, this paper should have been written by a NATIVE SPEAKER/s (from USA, UK, Australia, Canada etc.) If two or more of you are working in the same or a similar field of study, then you may bring the same paper.

List of accepted students and their topics are listed in Noppa's extra page (link below). Next, your tutor will contact you in order to agree on the details of your work.

Sign up instructions are updated: Please give also tutor's name! (Previous version was not clear: "as is in topic page"). This help me to match your wishes with available topics. Best format is to copy the topic title as it is in the topic page (tutor's name, number of topic, topic title).

First meeting 19.1. at 16:5 in T1. Course arrangements and topics for the seminar papers.

Dear tutor, Please suggest topic for papers for the spring seminar. Instructions for tutors are added to course's noppa page.
