Requisites
To successfully pass the course and achieve 5 credits, you should:
-

single-spaced around 10
pages according to the styleguide.

Prepare 3~5 questions and your model solutions on the basis of each paper.
Please submit them directly to to Prof.
Kantola.
-
Give a presentation (25-30 minutes + 15-20 minutes for discussion = 45

will provide you with his/her paper in advance. You will need to prepare
several questions and your duty in this presentation is to keep the discussion
alive and make the questions clear. You should send your questions and
model solutions to the professor at least one day before the presentation
begins. You will also need to grade the presentation and the paper.
The grading form may be obtained here in .pdf format.
This form is to be used only by the opponent.
-
Succeed to attend to 70% of the sessions.

scalability, stability and so on.
-
Conclusion (10%)
Note, you may not be limited within the above viewpoints. Try to cover
any valuable viewpoints which will enrich your paper.
