Examination

The course is divided into to two parts:

• assignments (LAB1, 3hp)
• project (PRO1, 3hp)

You will be working in pairs during both the assignments and the project. Unless there are special circumstances, you should work together with the same partner for both parts. For Assignment 1-4 it is important that both members of the pair work on all parts of the assignments as both students should be able to present the work that the pair submits.

Information on deadlines can be found on the timetable page.

Assignments (LAB1)

During the first four weeks of the course, you will be given one assignment each week. At the start of the following week you submit the assignment exercises via Sendlab. Please refer to the the assignments page for further details.

• You can score 1-2 points on the assignments.

Grades E-C are based on the work you submit as a pair:

• C: minimum of 8 points
• D: minimum of 6 points
• E: minimum of 4 points

In order to get the higher grades A and B, you are required to submit an individual assignment, continuing your work on Assignment 4 that you started on as a pair. See Assignment 5 (Optional). You can score 2-3 points on the individual assignment.

Your final grade for the LAB1 course module will be given according to the following distribution:

• A: minimum of 10 points
• B: minimum of 9 points
• C: minimum of 8 points
• D: minimum of 6 points
• E: minimum of 4 points

Project (PRO1)

The project is assessed based on the following deliverables:

• Deliverable 1: GUI analysis
• Deliverable 2: Project specification
• Deliverable 3: Project implementation

Deliverables 1-2 will be scored between 1-3 points (1 point = Pass). Deliverable 3 is graded as Pass/Fail, but optional implementation points can be earned (read more on the Implementation page). All deliverables must be graded at least Pass to for a project grade to be given. Grading of the project module is done according to the following distribution:

• A: minimum 6 points
• B: minimum 5 points
• C: minimum 4 points
• D: minimum 3 points
• E: minimum 2 points

Course grade

The course grade is calculated as the average of the grades of LAB1 and PRO1 rounded to the closest odd number (A-E = 5-1). E.g.

• A & D → (5+2)/2 = 3,5 → 3 → C
• B & E → (4+1)/2 = 2,5 → 3 → C

AI Policy

Any material you hand in during the course must be your own work. AI tools like ChatGPT may be used only as a teaching aid, e.g. to provide explanations and examples of specific concepts or conceptual suggestions on how to solve a specific problems. You must not use AI tools to generate code, reports, tables, diagrams, images or any other material that you hand in as part of your assignments or project. Any use of AI tools outside the specified parameters is considered cheating and will be handled according to LiU’s rules on academic dishonesty.
