Evaluation

During the semester, two homework assignments are given to each student. Both assignments can yield up to 20 points, thus the maximum score from homework is 40 points. During the exam, three tasks are given to each student, with each task yielding up to 20 points and the whole exam up to 60 points. The final grade for a student is derived from his/her personal score:

  • score > 90 -- grade 5 (excellent)
  • 80 < score ≤ 90 -- grade 4 (very good)
  • 70 < score ≤ 80 -- grade 3 (good)
  • 60 < score ≤ 70 -- grade 2 (satisfactory)
  • 50 < score ≤ 60 -- grade 1 (pass)
  • score ≤ 50 -- a student has failed to pass

Virtual Machine Image

For course lab sessions, there is a virtual machine image which has been tested with VirtualBox. When importing the image into VirtualBox, don't forget to check the box "Reinitialize the MAC address of all network cards". Also, if you are using the image on a classroom computer, import your virtual machine into the C:\PublicVM directory. In order to run your virtual machine as a node of the classroom network, change the network adapter mode from NAT to Bridged Adapter.

For changing the console keyboard layout of the virtual machine, use the /usr/bin/localectl tool (e.g., localectl set-keymap et sets Estonian keyboard layout for console, while localectl list-keymaps lists all available layouts and localectl status shows the current settings).

Lab Sessions

Homework assignments

  • Task2 -- a group work for max 3 students. The deadline for this assignment is December 22 2016, 23:59 local time.

Solutions to homework assignments should be sent to the e-mail address of the lecturer (given in the title page of each slide module). Together with the solution, full names and student codes of the authors must be listed. You should consider your solution submitted only after its reception has been confirmed by the lecturer.

All submitted solutions should be carefully tested final versions. Please submit the solution only once, and do not send in partial and/or untested work. It is not allowed to submit a partial solution, and use comments from the lecturer for later resubmission of improved version(s). Also, if you wish to submit multiple solutions, you must clearly indicate which one should be used for evaluation. If no such indication is provided, the first solution will be used for evaluating your work, and other solutions are not considered.

Please note that each student can be a (co)author of only one solution (i.e., participation in more than one student group is not allowed). Also note that the list of authors can not be changed after the deadline.

The correct solution with your score will be announced after the deadline.

Solutions submitted after the deadline will not be accepted. Also, it is not possible to redo the homework assignment after the deadline.
