The three examination items in the case study will be given points by the course assistant according to the following:
§
Report 0-10 points
§
Presentation 0-5 points
§
Opposition 0-5 points

Final result on the case study (0-10 points) is calculated as follows
§
Let F = ReportPoints + PresentationPoints + OppositionPoints)/2
§
Your final result is the smallest integer value RES such that RES>=F
§
RES (which will be between 0 and 10) will be added to the number of points obtained from the exam
§
Each group member will obtain RES points for the case study
