Grading system

The cumulative grade is computed as follows:

C = 0,6 * H + 0,4 * T,

where H is the grade for the home assignments and T is the written test grade.

The final course grade is given by

F = 0,5 * C + 0,5 * E

where E is the final exam grade.

Grades in all formulas are rounded according to the standard rule.
