The final grade is determined by both an exam and a graded programming project:

• Exam:
  
  
  • Unless there will be very few participants, in which case we will offer an oral exam, there will be a written exam at the end of the term. Date and time need yet to be fixed.
  • In the exam you can reach up to 40 points corresponding to the following grades.
    • [0,5) points: 5,0
    • [5,11) points: 4,7
    • [11,17) points: 4,3
    • [17,19] points: 4,0
    • (19,22] points: 3,7
    • (22,24] points: 3,3

    • (34,36] points: 1,3
    • (36,40] points: 1,0
  
  
• Programming Project: You will be asked to implement some of the algorithms presented and discussed in the lecture. You are allowed to work in groups of two. The grade is determined by both the number of objectives met and a brief interview in which you are required to describe your contribution to the project.
  
  Preliminary schedule
  • The first part of the assignment will be published in November.
  • In December, the solutions to the first part will be handed in and the second part of the assignment will be released.
  • The solution to the second part is to be handed in in January.
  More details to come.
  
  
• The final grade is determined by the weighted sum of the exam (80%) and the programming project (20%).

Exercises are voluntary and do not account for the final grade. They are however highly recommended.
