    Grade distribution on (bonus, exam)-coordinate system.

    Grades (tentative) as contour lines on point data in (bonus, exam) -coordinates. Notice the strong correlation and virtual lack of points in the lower right hand corner. By this measure it is clear that the participants have had very high integrity indeed. This data supports the idea that continuous assessment could (should?) be used to remove traditional course exams. Since there are students in the upper left hand corner, my interpretation is that  traditional exams have their uses but perhaps they should be kept on a parallel track.

    If you have thoughts/opinions about this, feel free to send your comments to me via email. Some of you commented on this already in the course feedback but seeing this may launch new processes. //HH

    The spring 2022 implementation of Introduction to optimisation is an attempt to combine elements of online and traditional in-person teaching. The recorded lectures (with famously wrong course title) are the core. The time of Wednesday's lecture is allocated for viewing of this material. We'll have one weekly lecture on Thursdays (Hall D) where we review the week and either cover mathematical prerequisites or examine some aspects in more detail. With this arrangement the workload should not increase above the norm.

    Optimisation in modern times has both theoretical and practical, that is, computational, parts. Students can demonstrate learning during the course by submitting homework, reviewing homework, and answering online quizzes. There will be an exam in the end.

    The syllabus document has been updated. The submission of homework and related peer review are now active.
