GRADING POLICY
- The sum of the points achieved in the "Quick questions" altogether is worth 20% of the final grade. Each correct answer to a quick question is generally worth 1 point.
- The sum of the points achieved in the "Homework" quizzes altogether is worth 40% of the final grade. A correct answer to each quiz question is generally worth 1 point. Occasionally, there are questions that are made of several sub-questions, each worth one point. One quiz is droppable (won’t be graded).
- The sum of the points achieved in the final exam is worth 40% of the final grade. Each correct answer to an exam question is worth 1 point. There is a mock exam that can be taken in preparation of the final exam: it does not count for the final grade.
- Students who achieve at least 60% of the available points (computed considering the appropriate weights described above for quick questions, quizzes, and exam) will pass the course. Example: if you got 80% of the points in the quick questions, 70% of the points in the homework quizzes, and 60% of the points in the exam questions, this means 16% + 28% + 24% = 68%, which is a pass.
NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS ALLOWED
We allow 2 attempts for most of the quick questions and homework quizzes, and for the final exam.
SUBMISSION DEADLINES
Although we suggest following the weekly schedule we provide, you can submit quizzes and final exam starting from when they become available (see course syllabus) and until November 28, 2017 at 08:00 UTC.
