Course requirements
Condition for signature:
attending at least 70% of exercise classes + passing all three problem solving tests separately (individual threshold: 40 points).
Homework:
after each exercise class, solution to selected problems can be submitted at the next exercise class for bonus points, which can be earned up to the limit of 90 points. There is no way to submit missed homeworks later.
Tests:

Problem solving tests:
The dates and places of the three problem solving tests are
|
Test 1 |
March 14, Thu 8-10 |
K275 |
|
Test 2 |
April 25, Thu 8-10 |
F2E |
|
Test 3 |

K275 |
For every test there is a repeat occasion:
|
Test 1 repeat |
April 11, Thu 8-10 |
E505 |
|
Test 2 repeat |
May 2, Thu 8-10 |
(to be fixed later) |
|
Test 3 repeat |
May 27, Mon |
(to be fixed later) |
There will be an extra test opportunity in the week after the semester, at 10 am on the 31st of May. On this occasion, one (and no more than one) of tests 1-3 can be retaken.
Final theory test:
The final theory test must be taken in writing at least once. There is a repeat occasion for those who could not attend the first test for justified reasons (e.g. illness). Those who fail the theory test on the first occasion can also use the repeat occasion for a second attempt.
Anyone who did not pass the written test, or wishes to improve their final mark must register for an oral exam.
The dates and places of the final theory test are
|
Theory test |
June 5, Wed 10-12 |
to be announced later |
|
Theory test repeat |
June 12, Wed 10-12 |
to be announced later |
Students must register for the written theory test(s) and the optional oral exams in the Neptune system.
Evaluation:
The threshold for passing the final test is 120 points (40%).
The end result is computed from the total score (three problem solving tests, one final test plus bonus points), divided by 6 and marked using the following limits:
