Grades

Home assignments and projects are graded according to the following scheme:

1 point: failed, not acceptable
2 points: acceptable, just above the acceptance limit, a very minimalistic solution
3 points: good solution, though not 100% correct
4 points: perfect and complete solution of the task
5 points: outstanding, beyond expectations; the solution goes beyond the assigned task

Half-points are also possible in borderline cases. A zero indicates that assignment was not submitted.

Note that the top grade (5) is reserved for outstanding solutions.

Home assignments constitute 50% of the final grade (a non-submitted assignment counts as 0), and the project constitutes another 50%. Students can use the "Grades" section in Canvas to track their total grade status.

Deadlines

Every teacher will set the deadline of their homework according to their judgement of how much time it is required to complete the homework.
For homework handed in before the deadline
- The student may have a chance to improve their grade based on the teacher's requests.
For homework handed in past the deadline (late hand in)
- It can never be graded 5
- The student will not get a chance to improve their grade.
