“Points” — the points scored by your submissions according to automatic grading, or the amount given by our course staff after manual review.
“Man.” = mandatory tasks — while you are free to solve any of the exercises in any order, you must have at least one point from each of these tasks in order to complete the course.
“Rating” — an approximate indication of how much effort is needed for getting full points in each exercise. 1-star problems are easy to solve without too much effort, typically with less than 100 lines of code. 2-star problems may require a careful application of the ideas presented in the course material and plenty of experimentation, and a solution is typically more than 100 lines of code. 3-star problems are small research projects. Please note that in many of the exercises it is often much easier to get some points than full points.
This course is graded as follows:
| Points | Grade |
