Assignments and Grading

There will be both theoretical exercise sheets and practical projects. For passing the course, the following minimal amount of points is needed:

50% of the points from the theoretical exercise sheets; and
50% of the points from the practical projects; and
50% of the points from the final exam.

To be admitted to the exam, you need at least 50% of the points from the theoretical exercise sheets and 50% of the points from the practical projects.

Your final grade (in percent) G is calculated by

G = 0.2P + 0.2T + 0.6 max{F,B}

where P is the final percentage from your practical projects, T is the final percentage from your theoretical exercises, F is the final percentage from your final exam and B is the final percentage from your backup exam.
