280330 UE PM-Met-6 Dynamics of the Atmosphere 1 (PI) (2012S)

The grading system is based on: i) homework and blackboard performance; ii) an individual project; iii) a final exam.
i) Homework and blackboard performance, altogether, account for 40% of the final grade (exercise points).
ii) Small individual projects will be distributed during the semester to students. About 4 weeks of time will be granted to the students to work out their project and finally present it in a 15 min talk. The project accounts for 20% of the final grade (project points).
iii) The final exam accounts for the remaining 40% of the final grade (exam points).
To pass the course successfully, a minimum of 30% per each category (exercise points, project points, exam points) is required.

Exercise points:
At the beginning of each exercise session, a sheet is circulated on which students can tick what exercises they solved. During the session, students are asked to come to the blackboard and their performance is evaluated with a weighting factor between 0.0 and 1.0.
At the end of the course, exercise points are calculated as (A/B)*C, where:
A: sum of points gained by ticking problems.
B: total points available.
C: mean weighting factor of the blackboard performances.
The worst homework session is not included in the computation ("void result").
