Grading scheme and deadlines

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.
