General information

Coursework

Here you can find some general information about the coursework. 

Submission

-- Submission deadline: Wednesday, 11:00. The first coursework is due on 23 September. 
-- Coursework may be submitted individually, in pairs, or in groups of three. If you submit jointly, only one copy needs to be uploaded. If more than one solution is submitted, only one will be marked. 
-- One convenient way to create a PDF from handwritten work is to use the OneDrive app, but you may use any method you prefer. 

Assessment
-- Coursework is graded on a binary scale: 1 point for a meaningful attempt and 0 points otherwise.
-- Admission to the main examination requires 6 out of 12 points.
-- Coursework that represents a genuine attempt will normally receive the coursework point, even if many answers are incomplete or incorrect. However, if submissions repeatedly show very little effort, we may discontinue written feedback.
-- Solutions to coursework questions will be provided. 

Purpose of the coursework
The coursework is intended primarily as an opportunity to learn and practise the course material. Therefore, a meaningful attempt does not require all questions to be answered, nor does it require all answers to be correct. Instead, students are expected to make a serious attempt to solve some of the problems and present them in a clear and understandable way. In particular, failed but carefully explained attempts at exercise questions are explicitly accepted.
