Examination

The following is required to pass the course:

• Passed assignments.
• Passed written exam.

If both of these requirements are satisfied, then the final grade is the grade on the written exam. (There is a special rule for students registered for DIT321, see below.)

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 written exams are graded in the following way:

• The GU grades Pass (G) and Pass with Distinction (VG) correspond to the Chalmers grades 3 and 5, respectively.
• To get grade n on an exam you have to be awarded grade n or higher on at least n exercises.
• A completely correct solution of one exercise is awarded the grade 5. Solutions with minor mistakes might get the grade 5, and solutions with larger mistakes might get lower grades.
• Exercises can contain parts and/or requirements that are only required for a certain grade. To get grade n on such an exercise you have to get grade n or higher on every part marked with grade n or lower (and every unmarked part), and you have to fulfil every requirement marked with grade n or lower (as well as every unmarked requirement).

(For some examples of exams that have used this kind of grading, see the old exams of the course Computability.)

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, contact the examiner no later than three weeks after the result has been reported. In this case you should not remove the exam from the student office.

A special rule for students registered for DIT321

Are you a student registered for the old course DIT321? In that case there is an extra requirement to get VG (because the syllabus includes this requirement): Your combined total score for the assignments, the quizzes and the written exam must be at least 74% of the combined maximum score. For this purpose the exam question grades are converted to points in the following way: U: 0 points. 3: 3 points. 4: 4 points. 5: 5 points. If you 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 your old score was S out of O, and the maximum score on that part this year is N, then you will be treated as if you got the score SN/O on that part this year. (This is assuming that S and O are known.)
