- The weekend (Friday and Saturday) counts as a single day.
- Postponement requests must be sent to the TA-in-charge (not to the TA responsible for the assignment) and will only be approved due to reserve duty (miluim) or in extreme cases.
Exam
The final exam will be with closed material. See multiple examples on the Course Material -> Exams section.
Final grade
The weight of the homework grades depend on the difference between the homework grade and the exam grade - the larger the difference, the smaller the weight. The final grade will be calculated as follows:
T ± sqrt(|H - T|), where
T is the exam grade,
H is the homework grade, and
± depends on whether the homework grade is higher or lower than the exam grade.
