4. Assignments, exams, grades

Since the course in this form is new, there are no "real" previous exams.
We provide some sample exams, made up from real exam questions.
Edited version of the exam 090601. Solutions.
Edited version of the exam 080529 with solutions.
Edited version of the exam 070604. Solutions.

There are 3 obligatory assignments, as listed in the schedule. Detailed instructions for each assignment will follow.
Assignments will be graded pass/completion/fail only. The grade for the course will be determined by the exam grade.
Passing the exam gives 3 study points (=ECTS credits), the assignments 2 study points.

Assignment 1

Deadline: Friday 11 September at 10.  This assignment is made individually.
Hand in through Studentportalen. If you have no access yet, hand in by email to Mats Cedvall.

Assignment 2

Only one copy per pair please, but make it clear who both partners are!

Assignment 3

The demo version 0.96 and the dowloadable version 1.0 have very little difference.
The ones I noted so far are in the Player:

• button "Next" to go to the next question
• to see the values of variables: Window menu > Report
• to see the messages from DISPLAY actions: Window menu > Result
• the "Solve" button is now a "Help me solve ..." checkbox.

One difference in Developer:
For a DISPLAY action, the "do not display" option is denoted by the empty string, not '-'.
