Assessment
The assessment of the course is based on the following principles:
- 30% Aalto intensive week
- 10% e-learning exercises in July
- 60% Tartu intensive weeks
The maximum number of points is 100. Most of the points (60) is based on attending and the rest (40) is given based on performance.
