Grading guidelines and requirements to pass the course

Exam grading

Labs grading

Each lab submission receives points when it is marked as passing; the amount of points depends on the lab and on how many of your previous submissions of the same lab were rejected.

Accepted at attempt #1 Accepted at attempt #2 Accepted at attempt #3
Lab 1 8 6 4
Lab 2 8 6 4
Lab 3 8 6 4

Each lab has a distinction part worth 2 points, available only on the first attempt. To get these 2 distinction points, submit a solution to the whole lab including the distinction part, at the first attempt. This allows the TAs to check the distinction part at the demonstration. Minor errors can be fixed in later attempts. If you do not submit a solution to the distinction part at the first attempt, you forfeit the 2 distinction points.
