Deliverables

We distinguish between unmarked and marked deliverables (“Studien- und Prüfungsleistung”). Both are required for passing the course but only the latter are marked - though not for those who selected this course as a “profile” course.

Assignments

Students will need to deliver unmarked assignments in form of coding exercises and different tasks on a regular basis. In order for your work to be incorporated into the feedback, please submit your assignment no later than Thursday, 6 am. Submissions are due by Sunday, 23:59 at the latest.

Projects

The three projects are the marked deliverables. They challange you with a real-world example. They need to be delivered by the deadlines and there will be time in the course syllabus to work on them together. It might make sense for you to do single bits of them in parallel to the units.

You are allowed to use ChatGPT or similar AIs to solve the assignments. However, you need to present your solution to make sure you understand what you have done.

Final grade

Your final grade will consist of the project portfolio. You may use the following lines of code for calculating your final grade, for example:

assignment_1 <- 12
assignment_2 <- 6
assignment_3 <- 8

final_grade <- round(mean(c(assignment_1, assignment_2, assignment_3)))
final_grade

Passing the course requires at least five points in regard to your final grade and submitting the unmarked assignments in time. Note: Depending on your module registration, this course may be ungraded. Submissions are still mandatory and will be marked as pass/fail as described above.
