Exam and Bonus point
The course has three facultative (not-mandatory) homework assignments, due week 37, 39 and 41, and a final written exam. The exam accounts for 6.0 ECTS, with grades are given in the range A - F or Fx, where Fx gives the right to a complementary examination to potentially reach the grade E.
Each homework assignment involves 5 problems giving in total 15 points. At the exam 5 of these points give one bonus point towards the exam, so in total one can get 9 bonus points for the exam - these are valid only for the exam in October and the re-exam in December 2023. See further description on the page for Homework.
