Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The student’s success in reaching the study objectives of this module will be examined via a written examination as well as the solutions of weekly problem questions in tutorials.
There will be a weekly problem question sheet containing homework. Homework has to be handed in and will be marked according to a point system. There is a maximum of two authors per homework allowed, however the homework has to be handed in handwritten and separately. The homework will also be marked separately. The same two students should work together for the duration of the semester.
There will be a bonus question on the exam work 15% of the points of the exam. The percentage of points reached in the homework will be counted towards the points of this bonus question if the student has attempted to solve this bonus question. If the bonus question has been attempted in the exam and the student has gained more points with this solution than via the homework, then the points earned during exam will count towards the final mark.
