Additional information on mode of examinationWorking on the exercises is rewarded in the sense of ETH's continuous performance assessment with up to 0.25 bonus points. In principle, it is expected that students solve all exercises. In order to control this, every week, 2 to 3 batches of small assignments (25 in total) will be marked as "bonus point eligible". Students can hand in their solution to these special assignments every week, and they will be graded (pass/fail). Each one of the 25 assignment batches gives 0.01 extra point at the exam, which means that up to 0.25 can be obtained as a bonus. Note that these extra points are added before rounding to a grade with a quarter-point precision and thus may or may not affect the final grade. The final exam may be computer-based.
Written aidsGeneral dictionaries are allowed.
Online examinationThe examination may take place on the computer.
