Exams

Exams for this course are similar to any other: They are entirely targeted at evaluating the performance of students. So no form of information exchange will be permitted. There will always be a reasonable time limit at the exams. There is a Midterm exam in the middle of the semester and a Final exam at the end of the semester.

Final grades will be determined as follows:
