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.
The final exam will take place on 24 February 2016 , 9:00-12:00 , in the Günter-Hotz-Hörsaal , building E2 2. The backup exam will take place 30 March 2016 , 9:00-12:00 , in the Günter-Hotz-Hörsaal , building E2 2.
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.
