Participation Marks

Some ways you can earn weekly participation points:

• Weekly quiz(es), if any:
  • Quizzes open around the lecture time and stay open until the next lecture starts. In some weeks, there will be two quizzes (because two smaller quiz is easier for you to manage than one big quiz).
  • If multiple attempts are allowed, we take the best attempt, not the latest attempt.
  • When awarding participation points for quizzes, we look for two conditions:
    • Condition 1: submitted early i.e., within four days of the lecture i.e., lecture day (Friday) + three more days -> Monday (reason: to encourage learning the weekly topics before doing the weekly tasks)
    • Condition 2: answered correctly i.e., least 70% of the answers are correct (reason: to discourage random answers)
  • You earn:
    • 3 points if you satisfy both conditions.
    • 2 points if only one of the conditions is satisfied.
    • 1 point if submitted but both conditions are not satisfied.
• Weekly programming exercise (if any):
  • 3 points if you submitted correct solutions for at least 75% of the exercises
  • 2 points if you submitted correct solutions for 50-74% of the exercises
  • 1 point if you submitted correct solutions for 25-49% of the exercises
• TEAMMATES peer evaluation sessions: 2 points per session
• Other weekly activities:
  • There could be other activities related to the lecture, tutorial, or the administration of the course.
  • Refer the activity description for evaluation criteria.
  • Each activity earns 2 points unless specified otherwise.
