Assessment methods and criteria

The final grade is based on two exams and the homework. A homework package is given weekly (approximately 11 packages). One point is given for every submitted homework package in Moodle. Homework packages are not accepted by email. The maximum points for the part 1 (Differential Calculus) is 43 points and part 2 (Integral Calculus) is 28 points. The homework and the exams together give the maximum of 82 points. The grade is based on the following table

20 points -> grade 1
32,5 points -> grade 2
45 points -> grade 3
57,5 points -> grade 4
70 points -> grade 5

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Contact lessons, exercises, self-study, videos, homework, exam.
A student solves exercises and saves them in TuniMoodle by given dead-lines.

Learning materials

All material, theory and exercises, can be found in TuniMoodle. If necessary, a student can use math books he/she has used before and the Internet to search more information about the topics. A student can borrow books in TAMK library. The solutions for the some homework will be published in TuniMoodle after every deadline.

Student workload

A student is expected to student 27 hours / credit unit (135 hours / 5 credit units).
