Compulsory course in intermediate studies in Computer Science (degree requirements 2010-2012, 1.8.2010).

Course description and Learning goals (1.8.2008).

Lecture course (6 cu) includes a compulsory 2 cu project. Your grade is determined by practice session activity, exam, and project.

With final exam, you get either 6 cu (with project done earlier) or 4 cu (no project). If you have done the project earlier, then the project grade may affect your overall grade positively.

Course home page has general course  information, not relating to this specific lecture course.

Lectures are in Finnish. Practice sessions are in Finnish (Tuura) or in English/Finnish (Kerola). All notices given during the course are given here.

3.6.2011 Response to course feedback questionaire is here (mostly in Finnish sorry). Project speed competition winning times are shown in project page.

3.6.2011 A small mistake was done in grading. Project extra points were not counted in if total project points exceeded 20p. This is now corrected and three students (see  here) got a better grade. New grades will be transferred to Oodi soon.

30.5.2011 Course grading is completed. Project points and exam points (by each problem) are shown in course bookkeeping. Course results are posted on the results bulletin board and here. You can come and look at your exam paper and ask questions on exam, project and course grading on 3.6.2011 at 10.15-11:00 (D220).

16.5.2011 Exam grading is completed. Each exam question is shown separately on the course bookkeeping page. To pass the course you must have minimum 13 (not 15) points from the exam. If you got less than 13 points from the exam, you need to take the make-up exam (in June) to pass the course.  The exam is in the Previous Exams page and grading principles are here.

7.4.2011 Each group should send the instructor (teemu.kerola (at) cs.helsinki.fi) current (large) data set and the solution time (1-10 minutes?)  used  for it. The competition data set is not selected for some projects yet, and it may be selected from those submitted now. Please do not turn in your project before 20.4.2011, because report requirements might still be fine tuned before that date. 

14.2.2011 Project work can begin. Study circles reserve projects by emailing the chosen topic to the instructor (teemu.kerola (at) cs.helsinki.fi). Still available topics are shown in page Study Circles and Projects. 

7.2.2011 Students with no marks have been removed from visible course bookkeeping. If your name has been removed by mistake, please contact the lecturer. 

31.1.2011 Everybody should be soon in a study circle for the project. Email the instructor (teemu.kerola (at) cs.helsinki.fi) the names of the students belonging to your study circle (1-4 students ). If you want the instructor to assign you to a study circle, please send email to instructor by 9.2.2011. Remember to note if you want an English speaking study circle. Study circles can reserve project via email, starting on Monday 14.2.2011 at 10:00. Any reservations arriving before that time will be ignored. 

20.1.2011 I will start an English-speaking summary lecture/discussion group, aimed for English speakers who can not attend Finnish lectures. We will meet 1st time tomorrow Friday 21.1.2011 at 14:15 in C222. Discussion will cover both lectures from this week. We will also decide then, if this type of lecture is really needed and what time would be better.  See lecture schedule for dates, times and locations of other summary lectures in English.
