Grading system

The academic year is divided into 4 modules. At the end of the second and fourth modules the students pass a written exam (E). During the year students must also complete weekly home assignments. Professors and assistants can ask students to present their written solutions orally. Quizzes are held regularly in classes. Solving specific problems marked by the lecturer or class teachers, students may receive bonus points which influence the final term grade. This influence is expected not to exceed 10% of the grade. Here is the rule that defines the grade of each term:

Q₁ = roundoff{min(0.4 ∗ RA + 0.6 ∗ E + B, 10)}, where:

• Q₁ is a final mark for the first semester (published in the end of December)
• RA is the grade for the regular activity; consists of grades for tests passed at class and weekly home assignments. Problems solved in class are 5–10 times more valuable than problems solved at home
• E is the exam grade
• B is the total bonus; received only if the homework is solved completely

Q₂ = roundoff{min(0.4 ∗ RA + 0.6 ∗ E + B, 10)}, which is a final mark for the second semester published in June.

Final course grade is calculated in the following way:

FCG = 0.4 ∗ Q₁ + 0.6 ∗ Q₂

Homework submission

Students will use Google Classrooms in order to submit their homeworks. Links to these classrooms one can find in the following table:
