Assignments / Credits

To receive credit for this course you have to work on six written / programming exercises (see return dates below). Please send your solutions to cosy-exercises@informatik.uni-bremen.de with the subject of the mail starting with "CoSy / Tutorial <n>" (numbers of tutorials see above). The mail should contain a written documentation as .pdf, .rtf, or .doc file as well as the source code of your implementation. This work is to be done in groups of 3-4 students. In the six exercises you have to reach an average grade of at least 60%. In the tutorial, each group has to present their solutions in an appropriate way (slide presentation, handout).

At the end of the semester we will have a technical discussion of 30 minutes with every group to check whether the marks achieved in each working group are homogeneously applicable to all candidates of the group and to decide on individual marks.

We much encourage collaboration and collaborative work will be especially required when completing your exercises. However, collaboration is to be sharply distinguished from cheating. No forms of cheating (including plagiarism) will be tolerated, so don't! If you do, rest assured that we will find out about it. Should you be caught cheating, this may result in your automatic failure in the course.

Return dates for the exercises:
No. 1: 03 May; No. 2: 17 May; No. 3: 31 May; No. 4: 14 June; No. 5: 28 June; No. 6: 12 July
