Grades and Credits
Assignments
The three assignments are worth 2 higher-education credits (ECTS credits). The assignment grade is as follows when $a_i$ is your final score (out of 10) on Assignment $i \in 1..3$, and $a = a_1 + a_2 + a_3$ is your total score. Each assignment is divided into two Problems with sub parts. On each of the problems you must have a score of at least 1 (out of 5) to pass the course. If you have a 0 on any of the two problems any assignment, then you will fail the assignments.
You must earn at least 3 points (of 10) on each of the assignments.
| Grade | Condition |
|---|---|
| 5 | $a \in \\{25\ldots 30\\}$ |
| 4 | $a \in \\{20\ldots 24\\}$ |
| 3 | $a \in \\{15\ldots 19\\}$ |
Exam
The exam is worth 3 higher-education credits (ECTS credits). The exam is marked out of 20. The exam is constructed in such a way to have no marks that are fractions of a point. The following table gives your grade assignment. Let $e$ be your total exam score:
| Grade | Total Score |
|---|---|
| 5 | $e \in \\{17 \ldots 20\\}$ |
| 4 | $e \in \\{14\ldots 16\\}$ |
| 3 | $e \in \\{10\ldots 13\\}$ |
| U | $e \in \\{0\ldots 9\\}$ |
Overall Grade
There is no longer a bonus point scheme combining the assignment and the exam mark for the final grade. Your final grade is now your exam grade. You are strongly encouraged to aim for a 5 on the assignments. In the past there is a strong correlation between students who got a 5 no the assignments and a 5 on the exam. There is an overlap on material examined in the assignments and material examined in the exam. Aiming for a 5 on the assignments is good preparation for some of the exam.
