Grading System
General Advice
- Maximize score for each of the modules.
- Note that bonuses are separated by module.
- Attend classes.
- Mind the deadlines.
- Do not cheat, it costs.
Overall Formula
There are 2 modules \(M_i\) (scored in the same way) and final exam \(E\), which have an equal weight.
\[G = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^2M_i+E}{3}\]If the final grade \(G\) is unsatisfactory, the exam can be retaken.
On the first retake the cumulative course grade \(M_i\) is taken into consideration.
On the second retake the cumulative course grade \(M_i\) is not taken into account.
A student who receives a positive mark on the second retake receives 4 points for the discipline.
If the second retake is unsuccessful, the decision about the final grade is done by the commission of faculty members, who will hold the final exam (the third retake, commission).
Module Formula
Each module score is calculated from Regular and Bonus points:
\[M_i = min(10, R_i + B_i)\]Regular Points: 10 points
\[R_i = \frac{45}{100}\cdot H + \frac{10}{100}\cdot Q + \frac{10}{100}\cdot P + \frac{35}{100}\cdot F\]| Variable | Score | Description |
| \(H\) | 45% | Homework (practical tasks). There are deadlines. Delays cause penalties: 25% for each week of delay. 100% penalty for cheating. |
| \(Q\) | 10% | Quizzes for self-checking. |
| \(P\) | 10% | Class presence. You need to attend more than 3/4 of classes to earn this point. |
| \(F\) | 35% | Final test (programming assignment). 100% penalty for cheating. |
Bonus Points: 2 points
\[B_i = 2\cdot \frac{\sum_k A_k}{100}\]| Variable | Score | Description |
| \(A_k\) | 5% each | Class activity. Each time you broadcast a solution of a task during class hours, you get this point. |
