Midterm Test

Midterm test is held at the end of the first module.

Exam

Exam is held at the end of the course.

Second retake rules

Second retake is the written exam <EX> for the whole course.
<R2> = min(10, round( 0.8 * <EX> + 0.2 * <HA>))
If <R2> is >= 4 then <Final grade> = <R2>; otherwise <Final grade> = round( <EX>)

Grading

Grade <Final grade> for the course is determined by the formula:

<Final grade> = min(10, round( 0.25 * <HA> + 0.15 * <QZ> + 0.25 * <MT> + 0.35 * <FT>),

where <HA>, <QZ>, <MT>, <FT> are grades for interim assessment activities:

• <HA> - Homework assignments
• <QZ> - Quizzes (small control works on seminars)
• <MT> - Midterm test
• <FT> - Final test (exam)

All grades <HA>, <QZ>, <MT>, <FT> are rational numbers between 0 and 20; grade above 10 is considered "bonus score" for "starred" exercises.

Rounding in the formula means rounding to the nearest integer, tie-values are rounded up.

Automatic pass

If <AU> by the formula below is >=7 then by automatic pass <Final grade> = round(<AU>)
<AU> = min(10, 0.385 * <HA> + 0.23 * <QZ> + 0.385 * <MT>)
Please note that expression for <AU> does NOT include rounding.
