Six assignments will be handed out throughout the course. Students are expected to carefully work on these assignments and hand them in by the required deadlines. Three assignments pertain to the 'distributed systems' submodule, one to the 'database systems' submodule, and two to the 'software evolution' submodule.

Students who hand in ...
(a) ... at least four valid assignments receive a +10% bonus over the final exam's points, but not exceeding the maximum 6.0 grade;
(b) ... less than one valid assignment per submodule receive neither a bonus nor a malus; or
(c) ... less than two valid assignments receive a -10% malus over the final exam's points, but not falling short of the 4.0 grade.

Note that the overall number of valid assignments for the course submitted needs to see at least one valid assignment from each submodule. Additionally, valid assignments are counted as "valid", if they clearly show that a measurable amount of work and effort had been spent.
