Grading policy

During the semester students will work on a C++ project which consists from 3-4 major milestones. At each milestone students should implement some part of the project according what they learn by that time. Each milestones are evaluated separately. Based on these results I will offer a mark at the end of the semester.

Those who do not accept the offered mark should write a C++ program as an exam. For this events you can use all notes, books or internet resources except any AI generated code and human help.

The final grade is based on the following factors:

  • The offered mark based on the student task

or

  • The submissions of the student task and the canvas examples: 50%.
  • Writing an exam program in the exam period: 50%

Activity on practices has a positive effect.

Student project

During the semester the students (individually) worked on a larger project. They step by step create a C++ class and its test environment. For every time they have to create a small additional code set built on the previous results. We publish the solution after the deadline with some delay.

Student project in 2025

In 2025 the student project was to implement a Rational number class.

  • Task 1 Write a function to create a canonical form for a Rational number.
  • Task 2 Implement the four basic operations on Rational numbers.
  • Task 3 Write a Rational class based on the Task2. Implement the class in the rational.h and the rational.cpp files.
