Assessment and permitted materials

There will be one exam with a maximum of 50 points. It covers all material covered in class, in the homework, and in the reading material. In addition, there will be three graded exercise sheets ("homework" - to be solved at home), with 10 points each. Presence in class is required, but you can miss up to three lectures without reason. Note that, for each additional lecture you miss, we will subtract 5 points from your points achieved so far.
