Learning by programming

Tenttien ajankohdat ja uusintamahdollisuudet

Assessment is based on exercises and three mid-term exams. The complete course can be compensated with one exam completed within the one month from the beginning.
There is no retake option for midterm exams nor for the compensating exam.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

The course can be compensated with an e-exam within the first month after the beginning of the course. More instructions on how to enroll is given in itslearning.
The exam can be done using a programming language e.g. C/C++/#, java, javascript a student states when enrolling.
The compensating exam can only be taken if a student is enrolled to the course.

24 Coding challenges – classroom activity. Each passed challenge is worth 0,25 p, a total of 6 p, that is added to the total points of the course. No minimum.
