in-person, to the TA each Friday. Assignments must include your name, and must be:
Late homework will not be accepted. You may work alone or in groups, as long as you make sure you're learning and understanding what you're writing. This is for your own good! You won't learn anything if you copy from Google or ChatGPT. Also, homework problems are very likely to appear in the exam (both in the written and the oral parts). |
| General Exam
Structure |
There are six exam sessions:
Each session will have three parts:
All three parts must be completed successfully within
the same session in order to pass the course. |
| Written Exam Rules | You may not leave the room
during the first hour and during the last 30
minutes of the exam. You may not have the following items on the desk:
You may only have the following on your desk:
All other items (including coats, jackets and hats)
should be in your backpack in the side of the
room. You must arrive 30 minutes prior to the start
of the exam and wait outside the room. |
| Oral Exam Rules | In the days after the written exam I will
announce (on the website) who is invited to the oral
exam. You will be assigned a specific time slot.
You must arrive at least 10 minutes before your
assigned time. Bring your ID. If you cannot
attend during your time slot, it is your
responsibility to swap with another classmate. I
will not be able to accommodate requests for time
changes. If you do not attend the oral exam you will have to take a new written exam. The oral exam will test your understanding of the material, the ideas and concepts. You will not be required to perform complicated calculations. It will often require you to explain how you solved various problems in the homework assignments or in the written part of the exam. If it is clear that you do not understand, you might receive a negative grade. The oral exam will last between 20-30 minutes. After the exam I will tell you if you have passed or failed. If you have passed, I will tell you your grade. Grading will follow the grading guidelines (see below). If you are happy with your grade, you will sign your name to confirm. This will determine your grade, and it cannot be altered. Only in exceptional circumstances it will be allowed to try to improve a grade in the next call. You may refuse the grade and try to retake the exam at a later call. If you fail, you can attend the next call. In either case, you will be allowed to take your written exam paper with you. To do this, you will have to sign and declare that you have taken the exam (and will not have any future objections to the grade you received). |
| Course Grading | The
maximal grade is 30, the passing grade is 18.
Exceptionally good performance will be awarded a 30
e lode (i.e. 30 + honors).
Your final grade will be the sum of all four
ingredients mentioned above. A grade that exceeds 30 will translate to a 30 e
lode. |
