Regulations - 2025-2026

                Lab

  • lab evaluation is oral:  40% the project, 60% the oral presentation of the project and answers to teacher's  questions
  • some requirements related to lab homeworks can be formulated (only) during lab classes;
  • you can work in teams of maximum 2 persons; don't change your team during the semester
  • for those who present the homeworks in due time (each homework has a deadline and a score), the maximum score that can be obtained is the displayed score
  • if a deadline is exceeded, the total score for the presented homework will be subjected to a 50% penalty; 
  • the overdue homeworks can be presented during the last week of the semester or during the semester, depending on the teacher's availability.
  • the source code for certain homeworks must be uploaded on Google Drive (you will receive more details about this requirement on Discord); if you do not upload these homeworks the score will be reduced by 50%  
  • the homeworks must be presented to the lab teacher in order to be graded 
  • at the beginning of the code you must present the bibliographic items used for solving the homework requirements and also write the percent of your solution that is based on functions obtained by accessing LLM (Large Language Models) systems
  • the "copy-paste" situations will be punished: the first irregularity leads to subtraction of the homework's score from the team's total score (of the teams/students involved in the "copy-paste" process), at the second irregularity the lab score becomes  -600 points, with no possibility  of  improvement
  • for scores obtained in previous years, send an e-mail to ancai_fii@yahoo.ro during the first two weeks of the semester
  • for changing the lab group you must have a good reason, the course teacher and the "destination" lab teacher must give their assent; you can change the group only once, in the first two weeks of the semester
  • the scores obtained for lab activity during the semester will be provisional until the last week of the semester, when the final "copy-paste" verification will be performed

       Written examination (mandatory)

  • written test with 3 or 4 exercises - 1 hour 
  • listed documentations (not electronic) is allowed  in the first half of hour of the written test
  • the maximum grade for the written test is 10,  while the minimum  is 1
  • the written test will take place  as follows:
  •  week 11 - evaluation from the first 9 courses 
  •  for those who did not obtain a passing score or want a higher grade: in the 12-th week evaluation from all courses

                                Evaluation

                       Final score  =  lab score + 50*written test mark

        Conditions for passing NC:

        -  written test mark ≥ 3

                   AND

          - final score ≥  450

  The final mark  is computed according to the final scores, using Gauss distribution.

first 10% - mark 10, next 20% - mark 9, next 25% - mark 8, next 25% - mark 7, next 15% - mark 6, next 5% - mark 5
(the percentages are computed relative to the number of students who satisfy the passing criteria)
