VF Conditions
Students needs to satisfy all the below conditions to avoid VF and take the final exam:
• Attend 70% of lectures (on Mondays)
• Attend at least 8 lab sessions out of 12 lab sessions (on Thursdays)
• The average of the midterm exam grades is at least 30/100
Labs
• You will have to submit proof-of-work to get attendance credit for the lab sessions. Teaching assistants will
guide you on how to do that.
• Students may bring their own laptop computers for lab sessions, or can use lab computers.
Homework Assignments
• We will assign several homeworks for you to study. However, they will not be graded. You can get help from
the TAs during their office hours. Solutions will not be published.
Exams
• All exams will be held on computers (not on paper) in computer labs.
• In exams, only the lab computers are allowed to use.
• Midterm exam dates shown on the weekly schedule are tentative and might change. The exact
date/time/location for midterm exams will be announced on Ninova later.
