• Getting the seminar credit - you will not be allowed to pass the exam without this one.
• Passing the exam.
• Points gathered from the seminar assignments are added to points from the exam and form the final grade according to standard university rules.

• Participation and active work at all seminars (up to 2 absences without an excuse will be tolerated).
• Gathering at least 25 points from the assignments (out of 50).
• Submitting all assignments during the term and receiving at least 50% of points from each of the assignment for the content.
  • You can choose one assignment, for which you don't have to get 50% of points. However, the assignment needs to be submitted.
  • Getting the points for the fulfilling 50% of the assignment are computed before the deduction of points for late submission penalty.
  • The late submission penalty is 50, 75 and 100% percent of points for being late by up to 24 hours, 48 hours, more than 48 hours.

Exam rules:

• The exam is written and takes approximately 150 minutes
