Points scheme for the exercises

For programming tasks (code)

If your code does not compile (make compile for Python and C++, ant compile for Java), the exercise will not be graded = 0 points. Rationale: otherwise it's a pain for your tutor to look at your code and to find mistakes.

Tests specified in the TIP file must be implemented, otherwise the exercise will not be graded = 0 points (the content of the test cases is important, not the exact syntax). Rationale: you just have to do it, do it.

If tests are not specified, you must write one non-trivial unit test per non-trivial method yourself, otherwise 50% of the points are subtracted. Rationale: a method that is not testet, is usually not correct.

If there are checkstyle errors on Jenkins, your exercise will not be graded = points. Rationale: you just have to do it, do it.

If you do not document your code, you risk point subtraction.

For theoretical tasks (proofs)

Basic idea / approach: 40%
Line of argument: 60%

Example: If you only write down the basic, correct proof idea in some vague sentences, you will get only 40% of the points. However, if your proof idea is wrong, you will get 0 points.

Important: Minor mistakes in your proof are ok and don't lead to any points deduction. But it should be obvious, that you have made some reasonable effort to show the proof.
