Examination
===========

Your grade depends solely on the final examination. To get prepared as
well as possible, I include two “home” examinations around Week 4
and 8.  These are optional, but should you feel the need for it, I can
grade them. All examinations follow the same pattern: 100 points
divided among four parts with 5 questions each. We apply the grading
scheme from `NTNU <https://i.ntnu.no/wiki/-/wiki/English/Grading+scale+using+percentage+points>`_ shown on :numref:`exams/grading` below.

:numref:`exams/previous` lists the questions and elements of solutions
of the previous years. I encourage you to try one of these
before the final examination.
