Grading criteria

The grading of the course is based on assignments, projects, and project reviews.

The grading follows the Finnish Higher education grading scale, where 5 stands for Excellent, 4 stands for Very good, 3 stands for Good, 2 stands for Satisfactory, 1 stands for Pass, and 0 stands for fail.

The course grade is formed as follows:

• Grade 5/5: Received at least 90% of the course points. Both course projects and their reviews completed. Both projects completed with merits.
• Grade 4/5: Received at least 85% of the course points. Both course projects and their reviews completed. At least one of the projects completed with merits.
• Grade 3/5: Received at least 80% of the course points. Both course projects and their reviews completed.
• Grade 2/5: Received at least 75% of the course points. First course project and reviews for the project completed.
• Grade 1/5: Received at least 70% of the course points. First course project and reviews for the project completed.

Projects are graded as either "not completed", "completed", or "completed with merits". In general, completing a project meets delivering a working application that provides the functionality outlined in the project handout and meeting the criteria for completing the project. Projects can also be completed with merits, which effectively means fulfilling additional project criteria. The criteria are outlined in project handouts.

As of fall 2024, for Aalto students (and Aalto exchange students), the course includes an exam. The exam influences grade. For additional details, see MyCourses page of the course.

Cannot determine the current course progress as the user is not registered (or, it takes a while to load the points). If you have not yet registered, please do so now.

The above estimate is based on the assumption that assignments that are inspected by course staff (e.g. readings and questions) have been completed as expected.
