Classes are held weekly on Thursdays, 14:30-17:45 in KN:E-107 according to the following plan:
For successful class completion, students must pass the lab work (aka Zapocet) and the exam. Zapocet is given to students who collect at least 30 points (out of 50) from the practical assignments during the semester. The exam consists of both practical tasks (hands-on, similar to assignments) and theoretical questions from the topics covered in the class. The maximum amount of points in the exam is 100. Students are required to score at least 50 points for passing the exam.
Students who scored more than 40 points from the semester will get the surplus points added to their final score after passing the exam. For final grading, the standard CTU scale is used:
How do I pass the course? You must collect at least 30 points from the assignments to get an Assessment (Zapocet). After that you need to get at least 50 points from the exam to pass the course. I have scored above 40 points from the assignments, how does it benefit me? Anything above 40 points is added to your exam score after passing it. For example if you reach 46 points from the semester and 75 from the exam, your final score is 75 + 6 = 81, which is equal to grade 'B' What are the due dates? Is there a penalty for submitting my work after the due date? Each assignment has a hard deadline. Submission is not possible after the deadline. Can I re-submit an assignment? Yes, but in some cases, there are limits on the flag submission so we prevent brute-forcing. Do I have to submit all assignments? No, you don't have to submit everything as long as the number of points exceeds 30. Can I submit the bonus assignment and still take the practical exam? Yes, you can take the exam after submitting the bonus assignment. If you earn more points in the exam, your grade will be improved. My container is not working. What do I do?
