There will be a practicum on weeks 9-14. The practicum time of week 15 will be reserved to the final assignment.

The goal of the practica is to give the students the opportunity to make their assignments under better conditions: the computers are reserved to them only and they can receive help from the instructor. Otherwise the only requirement in this concern is that the students must hand in their solutions the latest by the beginning of the next practicum, either made during the practicum time or not. Participation in the practicum is compulsory only in the first few weeks, when the solutions should be presented personally, and not sent via email.

Requirements:

• Students are required to hand in at least five out of the six assignments (5 * 10 points):

If more than five assignments are handed in, the best five will be taken into consideration. If less than five assignments are handed in, this will result in receiving less points. If an assignment is handed in after the deadline, 3 points are subtracted from the grade of that given assignment. More than one week of delay result in losing 6 points. And NO assignments are accepted after more than 2 weeks of delay.
• Furthermore, there will be a final assignment. The final assignment has to be done before the final test, and you have to bring it with you to the final test. The second part of the final test is to make some additions or modifications on your solution of the final assignment. The points you will get on the final assignment are partly based on how you have solved the original task at home, and partly on how you have solved the task that you had to do during the final exam.


• There will be a final test consisting of
  1. a a quick test on paper (25 points),
  2. and a task to be done at the computer, based on a final assignment to be previously done (25 points).
