Grading

The course consists of three grading components. In order to pass the course, you need to pass all three components. The course is graded A-F. If you pass, your course grade will be the same as the result of the written exam.

The three course components are:

Written exam (TENA, 4.5 credits), graded A-F. The exam is continuous, meaning that it takes place in several parts during the course. For more information, see Exams module.
VPN project (PROA, 1.5 credits), graded P/F. For more information about the project, see VPN project module.
Lab assignments (UPGA, 1.5 credits), graded P/F. This component consists of two labs:
1. Lab 1: IPtables. This is an online lab assignment, which is done individually.
2. Lab 2: Email Security with GPG. This is an online lab assignment, which is done which is done individually.

Partial results

Should you not fulfill all course components, you will have to come back and do the remaining components at the next opportunity. For the written exam, there is a re-exam during the make-up period in March (see the current schedule for details). There are no additional make-up opportunities for the VPN project (PROA) or Lab assignments (UPGA) course components, so if you fail on one of those, you need to come back next year.

In case you complete some parts of Lab assignments (UPGA), but not all, the basic rule is that you need to redo all parts next time the course is given. If you can present evidence that you have previously completed a part, we may accept your previous submission so that you need not redo it. However, this is decided on a case-by-case basis, and at the discretion of the teaching staff. Contact the responsible teacher!
