Further Notes About Assessment Methods

In-semester studies will be evaluated with a midterm exam and several laboratory / homework activities.
The final exam will cover all course topics.

Assessment Criteria

All the following criteria will be evaluated with exams, homework and laboratory exercises.
1. Learnability of basic concepts will be evaluated with the correct understanding of given problem.
2. Students should able to analyze the complexity of a given algorithm by applying any technique taught in the course.
3. Optimal solution strategies will be asked to find a solution for real-life problems.
4. Producing correct results of programs that developed as solution strategies will be expected.

Language of Instruction

English

Course Policies and Rules
