the exercises are also available in the web.
- There is one
course exam that gives maximum 50 points. To pass you have get at
least 24 points from the exam.
- Exercises are important part of the course. They are not
compulsatory, but very very usefull. Active participation can give
you up to 10 points. Also by writing small (5-10 pages) studies or
summaries about subjects related to data communications or by
giving short presentations you can get extra bonus up to 10 points.
-
The points
from exercise and other activities activity are valid only in the
course exam and in the separate exam in January .
- To get
points from the exercises you have to participate actively in the
exercises. You have to do your homework and solve the given
problems before coming to the exercise group. It not demanded that
your answers are absolutely correct, it is enough that you try your
best to solve the problems. In the beginning of the exercise
sitting you mark in the around going list those problems you have
solved. A mark in the list means that you are ready to present and
explain your solution to the group.
- Each mark in the list gives you one
solved problem point (SPP). As there will be about 36 problems the
maximum amount of SPPs will be about 36. About 3 SPP gives one
exercise point and 30-33 SPP gives the maximum 10 exercise points.
Other exercise points will be given linearly between those values.
- To pass the course you have to get
alltogether at least 30 points. And at least 24 points of these
from the exam. This 30 points gives you the grade 1-/3. To get the
best grade 3/3 you need 51 points.
