Grading

For passing the course the following minimal amount of points is needed:
  • 50% of the points from the practical projects AND
  • 50% of the points from the final exam

Your final grade is then calculated by:

Final Grade = 10% (Points of Project 1) + 10% (Points of Project 2) + 10% (Points of Project 3 ) + 70% (Max (FinalExam,Re-Rexam))
