Specific assignments will include individual and team assignments. Each assignment will need to be handed over based on strictly determined time and format, defined during the class (no deadline extensions will be granted – failure to submit an assignment results in the loss of available points). Students, who fail to collect 50% of points for the assignments, fail the class (grade 2) in the first exam session.
