• Homework: Some of the assignments will be theoretical and some will require computer work. Handing all of them is obligatory. Theoretical assignments are to be given by each student separately. Computer work may be submitted by pairs.

• Grades: Denote by h the average homework grade, by e the grade on the exam, and by f the final grade. Then:
  

  if e>=56, f=(1-a)*e+a*h , else f=e, end
  

  Here a is pretty significant; its exact value will be decided upon by the teacher and students together, towards the end of the semester.
