Additional information

Note to Finnish students: Kurssin kaikki materiaali on englanniksi, mutta harjoituksissa, tentissä ja muussa kommunikaatiossa voi vastata myös suomeksi riippuen henkilökunnan kielitaidosta. Luennoista voidaan harkinnan varaisesti ja erikseen pyydettäessä järjestää suomenkielisiä tiivistettyjä esityksiä.
