The grading scale for the course will be:
1: at least 87.5%
2: at least 75.0%
3: at least 62.5%
4: at least 50.0%
In order to pass the course successfully, you will need to reach a minimum of 50% on all assignments combined, 25% of the points on the last assignment (A5), as well as a minimum of 40% on the exam. Additionally, the presentation of A5 is also a mandatory requirement for a successful completion.
In this course we use something we call grace days. A grace day allows you to submit an assignment up to 24h late without any penalty. Every further 24h you submit late consumes another grace day.
Each student gets a total of 5 assignment-grace-days for assignments A1 through A5.
Other than that, you can distribute your grace days however you like. You can either use all your respective grace days for one assignment or you can use one grace day for one assignment and another grace day for another one.
Once you have used up all your grace days you have to submit before the deadline, as further late submissions will not be accepted → NO points will be awarded. Grace days you don't use are lost (i.e. no bonus points).
