Learning materials and recommended literature

- Teachers materials and slides
- AWS Academy slides
- Networking: The Complete Reference, Third Edition" by Bobbi Sandberg

Teaching methods

- Lectures
- Reverse classroom on some weeks
- Face-to-face learning via labs & demos
- Exercises with actual infrastructure in live environments

Exam dates and retake possibilities

Will be communicated at the first contact lesson of the course. Approximate date is on week 10. Two exam retake chances approximately on three week intervals after the initial one.

Alternative completion methods

You have the right to apply for recognition of your studies if you have prior learning (e.g. university studies completed elsewhere) that can be accredited towards the degree you are currently completing.

The recognition of prior learning is possible in three primary ways: accreditation (replacement or inclusion), recognition of informal learning and studification. More precise info: JAMK Degree Regulations, section 17.

Student workload

One credit corresponds to an average of 27 hours of work, which means that the load of three credits is approximately 80 hours.

- Contact lessons and lab work: 40h
- Individual work and exercises: 40h

Content scheduling

Start of the course will consist mostly of lectures and some lab work with lab work and exercise amount increasing toward the end. Lab work will be conducted in learning groups of around 20 to 25 persons.

The first 2/3 of the course will be held by Heikki Sateila, and it will focus on computers, local area networks and internet. The last third is held by Juha-Tapio Teno and is focused on cloud services and AWS.

Further information for students

Open University of Applied Sciences 10 included in the total capacity. Grading done on the scale 0 - 5. Details will be provided on the first lectures.
