The course consists of two parts:
Assignments. There are two kinds of assignments, quizzes and regular assignments. The following is required to pass this part of the course:
The total score on the quizzes must be at least 50% of the maximum total score.
The total score on the regular assignments must be at least 50% of the maximum total score.
The following is required to pass the course (GU grade G/Chalmers grade 3):
The following is required to get the Chalmers grade 4 (this is inapplicable to GU students):
The following is required to get the GU grade VG or the Chalmers grade 5:
At least 74% of the total number of points available for the assignments (including quizzes) and the written exam.1
Added 2019-01-31: For students who have passed either the assignment part or the exam part of the course in a previous year, and pass (only) the other part this year, the old score is scaled. If the student’s score on that part was S out of O, and the maximum score on that part this year is N, then the student will be treated as if she or he got the score SN/O on that part this year. (This is assuming that S and O are known.)
Authorised aids during the written exams (except for the aids that are always permitted): none.
After correction the graded exams are available in the student office in room 4482 of the EDIT building. If you want to discuss the grading you can, within three weeks after the result has been reported, contact the examiner and set up a time for a meeting (in which case you should not remove the exam from the student office).
The reason for including this rule is that the GU syllabus requires it.↩
