Grading Scheme :
Written / Oral / Practical Exam / Home Exam 93 %
Submission assignments during the semester: Exercises / Essays / Audits / Reports / Forum / Simulation / others 7 %

Additional information:
The homework grade is calculated based on 80% of the highest-scoring homework assignments. In other words, 11 out of 14 exercises (if fewer exercises are given, the calculation will be adjusted accordingly).

In addition, during the course, there will be an opportunity to earn an additional 13 bonus points through 13 bonus questions that will be given throughout the semester.
 
Students needing academic accommodations based on a disability should contact the Center for Diagnosis and Support of Students with Learning Disabilities, or the Office for Students with Disabilities, as early as possible, to discuss and coordinate accommodations, based on relevant documentation.
