Model Theory 2019/2020: grading

General information about credits etc:

The course is worth 6 ECTS.
The grading is on the basis of 6 weekly homework assignments and a final exam.
Your final grade is calculated as the weighted average of these grades:
- the homework /exam ratio is XX/YY;
- to calculate the average of your homework, (one of) your homework(s) with the lowest grade will be disregarded;
- an additional proviso is that you need to score at least 50/100 points on the exam.

Unless explicitly specified otherwise, you are allowed to collaborate with your fellow students, on the following conditions:
- you can discuss the exercises together, but you have to write down the solution individually;
- you must explicitly write on your solution with whom you have been working together;
- you can only work in small groups of at most three people;
- distributing your solutions before the deadline is not permitted.
Deadlines for submission are strict; this applies in particular to the condition that homework should be handed in at the beginning of class.
- Homework handed in after the deadline may not be taken into consideration.
  At the very least, points will be subtracted for late submission.
When writing your solutions to exercises, be succinct. In particular:
- unless specifically asked otherwise, never prove statements that are explicitly mentioned in the book (or other literature); simply refer to these results if you use them;
- in the case of a routine argument, you do not need to go into all the technical details;
- in case of proofs by induction on the complexity of formulas, one or two cases will usually suffice.
In case you think there is a problem with one of the exercises, contact the lecturer immediately.
