Final Grade:

The examination involves three components:

1. Weekly homework assignments and peer reviews; these are compulsory
2. [20% + 30%] Large programming assignment (from Week 2); the 20% part will be graded after Week 4.
   There will be one grade for the large programming assignment.
   In particular, insufficient grades for the initial 20%-part can be improved in the final submission.
   
3. [50%] Written exam
4. Partial grades are rounded to one decimal.

Algorithm for final grade:

1. If more than one compulsory homework assignment does not have an acceptable submission, then no final grade will be provided.
2. The partial grades must each be at least 4.0.
3. The final grade is computed as the weighted mean of the (two) partial grades, rounded to an integer.
4. The written exam 2IP15 concerns all covered material.
5. If the precondition (items 1 and 2 above) is not satisfied and you did submit work for the large programming assignment or the written exam, then the final grade will be computed as

   the minimum of rounded mean mentioned above and 4.0.

Rework:

• Missing work for homework assignments can be repaired (see FAQ). In general, if homework or the large programming assignment is insufficient but enough progress has been demonstrated, then an indivual arrangement for a quick "rework" opportunity can be made.

  The deadline for such rework is Sunday 16 June 2013, 23:00
