Times and places during the whole course¶

The first lecture will be held in Zoom 13.1.2021 at 12.15-14, and you can join it. Link:

• https://tuni.zoom.us/j/64123690434?pwd=blJicjQvSlJmNEZ2dElmNW9MamFHQT09
• Meeting ID: 641 2369 0434
• Passcode: 386134

Later lectures will be recorded, and you cannot join them. However, you can see recordings afterwards (see at All links).

Consulting hours (from 20.1 on):

• Wed 9-10 (Maarit)

During consulting hours, you can meet the responsible person of the course and ask any questions concerning the course (content, arrangement etc.). Consulting hours are meant especially for those questions that arise after lectures. Questions can be asked by visiting room TF106, or you can ask them via Zoom (see at All links).

Weekly exercises will take place in Zoom at the following time (from 19.1 on):

• Tue 16-18 (Anton)

In addition, weekly exercises will be recorded (check link from All links).

Weekly exercises will consider an exercise (or a couple of them) from the previous round. At each week, you can before-hand see, which exercise(s) will be considered. Exercises are not necessarily finished nor submitted in Plussa, and thus, you may need to complete them or fix them before submitting them in Plussa successfully.

Kooditorio hours will be given with Discord weekly (from 15.1 on):

• Tue 10-12 (Minna) (from 19.1 on)
• Fri 14-16 (Pauli) (from 15.1 on)

See Discord link at All links.

When project deadlines are close, there will be more Kooditorio hours. The additional hours can be found here and at each week a bit later.
