Computer Science I - course rules

  1. This class is divided into lectures and obligatory laboratory classes.
  2. Grading is done using a \(0\) to \(100\) point scale:
    1. \(45\) points for \(2\) lecture tests worth respectively \(20\) and \(25\) points,
    2. \(40\) points for tests during laboratories (\(2\) tests worth \(20\) points each),
    3. \(5\) points assigned at the discretion of the lab instructor, based on work during class,
    4. \(10\) points for a project, to be turned in by the end of the semester, graded by the lab instructor
  3. A passing mark is given only if a student obtains a minimum number of points, listed below. Failing to achieve the minimum number of points results in a failing grade (2):
    1. 23 points from laboratories (excluding the project),
    2. 23 points from lecture tests,
    3. 50 points in total from lecture tests and laboratories (excluding the project).
  4. If the minimum requirements, outlined in point 3, are passed, the final grade is calculated as follows:
    1. 0-50: 2.0
    2. 51-60: 3.0
    3. 61-70: 3.5
    4. 71-80: 4.0
    5. 81-90: 4.5
    6. 91-100: 5.0
  5. The deadline for turing in the project is the day of the last laboratory class. The grade for the course becomes final on the last day of the semester. There will be no corrections.
  6. Laboratory attendance is obligatory. Each absence needs to be excused, e.g., with a doctor’s note. Failing to do so results in deduction of \(3\) points.
  7. Laboratory groups are assigned in USOS.
  8. During the last lecture there will be a make-up test worth \(40\) points. If better, the mark of the correction test replaces the results of both lecture tests.
