Grading & Assignments
This course has four types of assignments:
1. Fun Assignments (ungraded)
2. Check Your Understanding (ungraded)
3. Module Exams (graded)
4. Final Exam (graded)
Each module has a similar structure and grading policy. The non-graded contributions, such as ‘check your understanding’, the ‘fun assignments‘ or your contributions to the discussion forum, are optional. Participation does, however, give you a great learning experience and is strongly recommended by our course team.
Your final grade in the course depends on how well you score on the graded components. To pass the course you need a grade of at least 60%. Please note that any graded components are only available in the verified track.
