Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet

The course has two parts (5 + 5 credits): Both parts are evaluated separately. The final course grade 1-5 will be the arithmetic mean of the grades of both 5 credits parts. The grade is rounded to next full number. An example: part 1 (5 credits, grade 3), part 2 (5 credits, grade 4). Arithmetic mean is 3.5. Final grade is 4.

PART 1, 5 credits, Jari Aalto, grading: 30 % (1), 40 % (2), 50 % (3), 60 % (4), 80 % (5). Only homework files following these guidelines are evaluated: (1) the file name is in format NNN-exercise-name.txt where NNN is 3 digit homework number; (2) file names contain only lowercase US-ASCII letters and no spaces; (3) Files are saved in POSIX standard end-of-line format (EOL = LF, linefeed, \n). Each line must end in EOL; (4) file is written in english and contain only US-ASCII letters; (5) file does not contain TAB characters; (6) the first two lines in files contain name and date in tags whose format is "Author: Firstname Lastname ", "Date: YYYY-MMDD"; (7) each homework must be returned in a separate file; (8) files are returned to the location instructed in the course.
Deadline of homework returns is 2021-03-31. Returns after deadline are evaluated with grade 1.

PART 2, 5 credits, Petteri Jekunen, grading: 30 % (1), 40 % (2), 50 % (3), 60 % (4), 80 % (5).
