Sum points: 45; Bonus points: 10

Total max points: 55

All homeworks (excluding bonus tasks) must be submitted and pass the evaluation.

The final hard deadline for all homeworks is 11.1.2024 @ 23:59 PST.

Penalty for late submission of the tasks

Penalty for late submission of the task is set to 0.5 points per 3 days (72h). Points are subtracted until the successful submission of the tasks, i.e., until the BRUTE system does not assign at least 0.1 points from the task. Hence it can happen that the overall task score will be negative.
