Tests

• Test 1 (2 hours long) -- Oct. 21, Wed, 19:10–21:00, SF 3202
• Test 2 (2 hours long) -- Nov. 18, Wed, 19:10–21:00, SF 3202

Marking scheme

Your Final Mark will be computed as follows: \begin{gather} \mathsf{FM}= \min\bigl[\mathsf{T}_1 + \mathsf{T}_2 + 0.8\cdot\mathsf{Q} + \mathsf{BM}+\mathsf{FEM},\, 100\bigr],\\[3pt] \mathsf{Q} = \mathsf{Q}_1 + \mathsf{Q}_2+\mathsf{Q}_3 + \mathsf{Q}_4 + \mathsf{Q}_5 + \mathsf{Q}_7 \qquad \text{with 2 worst Quizzes dropped} \end{gather} where $\mathsf{FM}$ and $\mathsf{FE}$ are your Final Mark, and the Final Exams Mark respectively,

• $\mathsf{T}_1$ and $\mathsf{T}_2$ are your Test 1 and Test 2 marks (each of these tests is worth 20 points),
• $\mathsf{Q}_n$ are Quiz marks (each 4 points worth), $n=1,2,\ldots,7$, the worst of them is dropped, so $\mathsf{Q}$ is 20 points worth, (each quiz marked out of 5 so $\mathsf{Q}$ gets factor $0.8$;
• $\mathsf{BM}$ is the bonus mark calculated as $\mathsf{BM}=\min (\mathsf{B}_{\text{class}}+\mathsf{B}_{\text{web}},10)$, where
• $\mathsf{B}_{\textsf{class}}$ and $\mathsf{B}_{\textsf{web}}$ are the bonus points for the activity in the class and, respectively, contributions to the forum.
• $\mathsf{FEM}$ is a Final Exam Mark, 40 points

Missing work

There will be no make up (even) for a legitimately missing work, but the remainder will count heavier. Namely: $\mathsf{FM}$ will get factor $100/(100-L)$ with $L$ the sum of all legitimately missed tests or quizzes (while the worst Quiz is still dropped).

Since there will be early and late sittings for Tests and since Quizzes are during class time you need to provide a doctor's note covering the day of the missing test.

Loss of work must be reported the day of the return of the respective work.
