The lecturers are visiting experts. The topics vary yearly. Each lecturer typically gives a series of lectures (6-10 lectures) as a two-day intensive course.
To pass the course for 1 credit point (ECTS point), a student must
- attend two instances of the lecture series (about 20 hours in total), and
- write a brief (about one page) summary of each instance attended.
Lectures are scheduled on case-by-case basis. For information on upcoming lectures, see the course homepage.
This one week orientation course is offered jointly for all international students (degree and exchange) at the beginning of the Autumn and Spring semesters. It is most important for you to take part in it.
On the first day of the Orientation, a session on how to fill in the registration papers is offered. During the week you will get information on studies and study practices as well as library, computer and other systems and services at the University of Tampere. You will also learn about Finnish customs and the history of the City of Tampere. A bus tour around the city is also included.
Sign-up via e-form by 31 July 2013.
The Orientation Week programme will be published in the summer 2013.
Note, this course overlaps with two prior courses: VTEKS115 Introduction to Information Visualization (Johdatus tiedon visualisointiin) and the original Information Visualization (Tiedon visualisointi), and cannot be taken by the students who have taken either of the earlier courses.
