Grading

The exam grade counts for 60% of the final grade of the course. The solutions to the assignments (see Assignments) count for the remaining 40%: Matlab assignment 20% and Literature assignment 20%. Each activity must be approved separately to obtain the credits of this course.

Note: If you approved in previous years the exam, and/or the Matlab assignment, and/or the Literature assignment, the grade you obtained is automatically consider for this year, so you don't have to approve the activities again.
