Grade scale

I've done the final exam and I wonder what's the criteria for a grade 5? I cannot find the scale anywhere, it seems.

Hi,
The grading is based on the exercises and exam. Additionally, you can get extra points for being active here on the forum. Here's the scale of the points / grades:
1 135-165
2 165-195
3 195-225
4 225-255
5 255-285

Then it should be enough for a 5 if you take into account the technical problem encountered in Part 5.

I now have 179 points in total from all the assignments. So, have I passed the course or do I still need to get 50% of the points from the final exam to pass the course?

I'm having a huge lack of time and I'm wondering if I still need to get more points from the final exam or can I just leave it be.

Hi @Beawi,
A good question! In fact, I have not specified this in the instructions. You need to pass the exercises but nothing is said about the exam. So I guess you can pass without doing the exam - although I would of course recommend doing at least what you can easily get done. Anyway, please submit the grade my work when done (whatever you decide) so I know you have finished the course.
Good luck with the busy spring!
