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: (1) 30%, (2) 60%, (3) 70%, (4) 90%, (5) 100 % (5) of the homeworks. Only homework files that adhere to the course guidelines will be evaluated. All submissions must be made through a GitHub repository, with instructions provided in class. Additionally, for homeworks, commits must span a minimum of a 4-week period.

PART 2 (5 credits, Petteri Jekunen). Grading: (1) 30 %, (2) 45 %, (3) 60 %, (4) 75 %, (5) 90 % (5) of the full points. Grading is based on completing the tasks (80%) and attendance (20%). The final grade of PART 2 is the weighted mean of grades of the tasks in Moodle. See Moodle for more details about grading.
