Grading policy

There will be at least 3 exams, all given as fill-out forms on web pages accessible from this page and a term project. When the exams are graded, grades will be emailed to students (along with the correct answers to questions). Final grades will depend on written assignments, and exams. The lowest exam grade will be dropped. Written assignments count as 1/10 of an exam.

At any time, students may find out their current grades by consulting this web page using the password given in emails with exam grades.

The term project will be team-oriented. Students must sign up for a programming team and hold regular team-meetings. Each team decide on which of the two listed projects to do.
