There are three kinds of assignments or exams:

  1. Homework
  2. STACK -- automated, randomised problems
  3. Exam

Please note that the course exam and the regular exam are not the same thing. The course exam is part of the continuous assessment, whereas the regular exam explicitly assumes that learning over the whole course covering all topics at all levels of detail should be assessed. The course exam is the exam you take immediately after the end of the course.

"Continuous assessment" means that every week during the course you submit your homework solutions and then take the exam the week following the end of the course, and the two things will be combined with some suitable weight to give your final score (see below). Or you can also just register for the exam and take it, without submitting your homework during the course.

Final grade: 

  • If you take the course exam (which means the exam right after the end of the course, not a later retake exam), then the grade will be as follows. Let's call H the total score you get by summing all the homework, and let's call E the total score you get from the exam. The final score will be maximum(E,(H+E)/2). Which means, either just based on the final exam, or the average between the homework and the exam, whichever is better for you.
  • If you go to a retake exam, the grade will be based on that exam only.

Points:

  • There will be 6 homework sheets, with two homework problems each. Every sheet is worth 4 points, so that the grand total is 24 pts.
  • There will be some number of STACK sessions, probably around ten or less. Each STACK session gives one point.
  • The course exam will have five problems, 6 pts each, for a grand total of 30 pts.
