The Python exam consists in the following:

• Lab activity - maximum of 5 points based on your lab interaction
• Lab test (week 8) - on the paper - 40 pct
• Project (from week 9 to week 14) - 30 pct
• Course - 25 pct

The final grade for this exam is computed by applying Gauss curve formula on the final score (number of points) obtained by each student. The percentages proposed by ECTS ("top 10%, next 25%, next 30%, next 25%, lowest 10%") are used to transfer grades from one system to another and are based on the normalized distribution. The reality shows that the distribution of the scores obtained by the students following the evaluation does not always respect the normal Gauss distribution. For example, there are cases when 70-80% (or even more) of the scores received by the students are within the range [45-60]. Obviously, in these cases, one can not apply the same Gauss distribution as they will result in canceling the difference between someone with 80 points and someone with 60 points. For this reason, the ECTS percentages are only supported as a starting point in establishing the final grades; if the scores distribution is different than the normal one, the percentages will be adjusted accordingly.

Minimum requirements to pass this exam:

• 30 points cumulated from all lab and course
