Exploration and Submission

Assignments serve as the main way how you can understand the concepts introduced in the lectures. They will be exercising both principles (you use pen and paper) as well as practice (you use a computer). For the latter you will need some software.

Assignments consist of two different types of tasks:

Exploration Tasks

These tasks typically give you insight and help. While not intended to be submitted, you definitely should try them: they will be crucial for understanding concepts and will of course help you in getting the real tasks done!

Submission Tasks

These tasks are the real things: you should solve them and submit them either in paper or by Email to me for correction. The exact rules are below.

Submission Tasks

The course features four assignments which must be solved and submitted in time (you will have one week to solve all tasks on an assignment). Each assignment will feature 5 points on tasks. In order to pass the assignment part of the course you have to reach 10 points on all assignments.

If you submit an assignment in time, the points will serve as bonus points on the exam. That means that you can score at most 20 bonus points for the exam. Note: the bonus points are valid only for this academic year.

After submission, I will comment on your solutions and will award points for your solutions.

Teaming Up

It is okay to work in teams consisting of at most two people. Groups are not allowed to change, when you intend to form a group you have to send me Email about it and you have to stick to that group for the entire course.

When working within a group, internal co-operation is naturally permitted. Each member of the group shall contribute equally to the assignment. Each group member shall, individually, be capable of giving an account of the entire assignment and the entire solution.
