Exercises
Exam

- Examination, max 30p points, Exercise sets and Conceptual home work max 15 points
- The sum of the exam points has to be at least 9 points and the total sum with exercises at least 14 points
- 90 % of Exercise sets and Conceptual home work done correctly gives 15p. In the exercise review classes the ability to explain and justify the solutions is evaluated. Absence from review classes or inability to explain or justify the solution can cut these points by -50 % max.

Participation to class lectures is highly recommended
Participation to exams is compulsory.
Absence in the review classes of exercise sets will affect the points ( see above)


Grading:
