Exams

After each major section of the course there is an exam which is graded by the tutor. There is also a written final examination. The course grade is largely based on these exams.

Each week, students submit a report of their work electronically to their instructor, who reviews the student's work on the exercises and looks for potential trouble areas. The instructors are available for phone or email consultation should the student have any questions.
