Assessment Methods / Grading
- Theory's evaluation method: final written exam. The exam includes multi-choice questions, an exercise requiring the justification of code mistakes, an exercise requirering the explanation of a specific code and its output as well as an exercise where a whole program has to be developed that includes some operations to be implemented in the form of functions. The exam / theory grade should be >= 5 to pass the course. The exact grade contribution per each exam part is explicitly specified in the exam paper while clear instructions are supplied per each exam part (including timing guidelines)
- Lab's evaluation methods:
- Mid-term exam
- Final exam
- Lab exercises
- The lab grade is computed as follows: 85% exams grade + 15% exercises grade
- The exams grade is computed as follows:
- If mid-term exam grade is greater than final exam grade, then exams grade = 30% mid-term grade + 70% final exam grade
- Otherwise, exams grade = final exam grade
- To participate in the final exam of the theory, the lab grade should be >=5
- Final grade: 60% theory grade + 40% lab grade
- The whole evaluation procedure is explicitly specified and communicated to the students in person as well as via e-class
