Grading Scheme

Project 20%
1 midterm 30%
Final exam 50%

The course project will play an important role. Please check the project’s description and
requirements (will be posted later). Four (4) students form a team to work on the project. Tasks
are distributed among the students evenly and will be evaluated individually. Not all students in
a team will necessarily get the same mark. A teamwork discussion sheet will be provided.

Please Note:
• Final Examination: The final examination will be administered during the examination
period at the end of the term. The final examination covers all material seen during the
term.
• Midterm: The midterm will take place on Sunday, November 3rd, 28th at 1pm. The
location will be announced later. Please note that there is no makeup midterm.
• Submissions in the incorrect location and/or not in the proper format will not be
considered.
• In order to pass the course, you must pass the midterm and the final exam by getting over
50% of the marks in each one of them, regardless of your grade in other required
components, and submit all of the project’s deliverables.
• There is no standard relationship between percentages and letter grades.
