Homework Assignments

Bonus Points 🎉 🥳

  • Submitting the homework exercises can earn you bonus points
  • Opportunity to earn 10% of the maximal exam points through bonus points
  • Formula for calculation of bonus points is as follows:

\[ \text{Bonus Points} = Round\left( 0.1 * \text{Maximal Exam Points} * F\right) \] where \[ F = min \left( 1.0, \dfrac{\text{Obtained Homework Points}}{0.6 * \text{Total Homework Points}}\right) \] \[ \text{Total Exam Points} = \text{Obtained Exam Points} + \text{Bonus Points} \]

Homework Assignments

Text(0, 0.5, 'F')

Homework Points Obtained (%) Bonus Points
0% 0
30% 5
60% 10
100% 10

\[ F = min \left( 1.0, \dfrac{\text{Obtained Homework Points}}{0.6 * \text{Total Homework Points}}\right) \]

Homework Assignments

Grading

  • Approximately 50% of the tasks will be graded.
  • Tasks for grading will be randomly selected during the weekly exercise session after the submission deadline.

Example:

Task 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Total
Points 4 3 5 4 4 3 5 28
