midterm test: 15 points

homeworks (5 x): altogether 20 points

For each homework assignment only two pre-selected problems will be subject to grading. Full solutions to all problems shall be uploaded in SIS. Students can gain partial point award based on proportion of the correct answers within the pre-selected problems graded.

written exam: 50 points

Minimum requirement from the written exam is 25.5 points (stricly more than 50% of the written exam). Gaining less will result in grade F regardless of the total sum including HWs and oral exam.

oral exam: 15 points

Minimum requirement from the oral exam is 8 points (stricly more than 50% of the written exam). Gaining less will result in grade F regardless of the total sum including HWs and written exam.

91-100 points A excellent (with minor mistakes)
81-90 points B very good (above average with some mistakes)
71-80 points C good (solid with few major mistakes)
