Teaching methods

learning by programming
this is not an online course

Completion alternatives

The course can be compensated with an exam. Enrol by email by 15.1.2023 and tell which programming language you will use e.g. java, python, C# ...

Student workload

reading the material 10* 3 h= 30 h
doing the network exercises 10* 3 h= 30 h
doing the programming exercises 10* 4 h= 40 h
project 35 h
total 135 h student work

Content scheduling

The learning is based on doing
- network exercises
- programming exercises
- to support the learning there are weekly introductory lectures on the topic and exercises
- weekly labs for presenting the exercises and getting support prior to returning the exercises
- programming project work


All the classes are programming labs. A student needs to go through the theory before the labs. Part of the lab exercises is evaluated only if they have been presented in front of the class.
