The mark for the course will be determined by a series of exercises and a short multiple choice test.
I sometimes need to make changes to an exercise, to the number of points awarded, or to the deadlines, so make sure that you check back regularly and read the main course newsgroup. To pass the course, you need to achieve 50% or more of the total points. Other than that, I do not fix an exact points-to-grade mapping until we have finished marking everything.
It is not the case that you have to be positive in both the MC Test and the other exercises to pass the course. Just ≥ 50% of the total points.
You may complete the exercises either in English or in German. The questions in the multiple choice test are in English only.
The deadline for an exercise is the latest possible time you can hand in your work. You are allowed to hand in your work before the deadline. Expect there to be technical problems immediately before a deadline, so do not leave everything until the last minute. Instead, aim to complete each exercise well ahead of the deadline.

Late submissions will be dealt with as follows:
Upto 48 hours after the deadline, 50% of the points for that exercise.
More than 48 hours after the deadline, 0 points for that exercise.
Unless you have a very good reason supported by appropriate documentation (doctor's letter, etc.).
Do not cheat. Copying from the web or copying the work of others and then submitting it as your own is known as plagiarism and is strictly forbidden. The university has a code of conduct and set of guidelines regarding scientific integrity and ethics.
By taking this course, you agree to have your work submitted to plagiarism detection services. We also cross-check work against other work submitted in the same and previous years.
If you help a fellow student, be careful that you do not disclose your exact solution or work. If the student you help submits substantially identical work to you, you will both be punished for plagiarism.
