Completion option 1

Completing successfully all the laboratory works gives course grade 1. Better course grades (2-5) can be achieved by taking an exam in addition to the mandatory laboratory works. The Finnish implementation is organized in period 1 and the English implementation in periods 3-4.

Completion of all options is required.
