Concerning all courses of the Department of physics and Mathematics, they can be arranged by the decision of the lecturer as hybrid- or remote teaching. Then, for exams, the remote supervision arrangements of exams (see https://kamu.uef.fi/en/student-book/ethical-guidelines-for-teaching-and-studying/, section 2) can be taken on use.
Registering for courses is done through WebOodi. The official assessment scale of the University of Eastern Finland is from 1 to 5 (5 being the highest). Some courses may be graded as Pass or Fail, in which case no numerical grade will be given. In a written examination students normally have to obtain a minimum of 50% of the raw points to gain a Pass from a course.
| Grade Definition | ECTS scale | |
| 5 | Excellent | A |
| 4 | Very good | B |
| 3 | Good | C |
| 2 | Satisfactory | D |
| 1 | Sufficient | E |
| Pass | Course completed successfully | C |
