Teaching assistants (TAs):
The TAs are responsible for supervision of the lab sessions and grading.
We will asset your knowledge of the content of the course both in the labs and in the final exam. The course awards a total of 100 points: a maximum of 70 points for the exam, and a maximum of 30 points for the labs.
The exam is graded for Chalmers students as follows:
Points | Grade |
---|---|
28–41 | 3 |
42–55 | 4 |
56–70 | 5 |
The exam is graded for GU students as follows:
Points | Grade |
---|---|
28–55 | G |
56–70 | VG |
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.
The overall grade for Chalmers students is determined as follows:
To pass the course, you need these points in each of the exam and labs:
Exam | Lab 1 | Lab 2 | Lab 3 | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Minimum points to pass: | 28 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
If you pass the course, the overall grade is determined based on the total points as follows:
Points in Exam + Labs | Grade |
---|---|
40–59 | 3 |
60–79 | 4 |
80–100 | 5 |
The overall grade for GU students is determined as follows:
To pass the course, you need these points in each of the exam and labs:
Exam | Lab 1 | Lab 2 | Lab 3 | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Minimum points to pass: | 28 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
If you pass the course, the overall grade is determined based on the total points as follows:
Points in Exam + Labs | Grade |
---|---|
40–79 | G |
80–100 | VG |
Students who attended the course Concurrent Programming (TDA383/DIT390), which Principles of Concurrent Programming (TDA384/DIT391) has replaced, can still pass TDA383/DIT390 in connection with this edition of TDA384/DIT391 according to the following rules:
These requirements are only to pass TDA383/DIT390; students of TDA384/DIT391 must pass the new labs and the regular exam as detailed in the rest of this page.
