Lab slots do not require mandatory presence. They are designed for students to meet TA and discuss questions on site. During the lab session, please use this Queue to register your call. Our TAs will contact you in minutes according to the location you specify.
To pass the course, the student has to collect 4 grades:
- the grades are in category: "presentation", "demo", "essay", "tutorial", "competition entry", "contribution to open-source", "covid19" (choose four out of them, at most one in the same category, it is not necessary to cover everything).
- the strict deadline for essays, tutorials and contributions to open-source is April 30 2020, 23h59 Stockholm time; the deadline for competition and demos are respectively on pages "competition entry" and "demo"; the strict deadline for repeated tasks (all) is May 31 2020, 23h59 Stockholm time.
- the student proposes a category and a topic, which is discussed and accepted by the TA. The proposal is made as a pull-request on this repository. The four graded contributions must have little overlap.
- the same student cannot choose the same topic for two different tasks. The four tasks should cover different aspects of DevOps.
- each grading category, there is a grading form, which explains how to pass / pass with distinction.
- 4 Pass means a final E, 3 Pass / 1 Distinction means a final D, 2 Pass / 2 Distinction means a final C, 1 Pass / 3 Distinction means a final B, 4 Distinction means a final A
- for the competition, the distinction is given to the top-25% best performing teams
- the grades are announced as a pull-request or issue comment on this repository.
- Group work is encouraged (max 3 persons) but you cannot be with the same persons for more than 2 projects. You can do a work alone for one or at most two projects.
- A failed task requires to pass it again at the end of the course, based on the feedback from the failure. A repeated task cannot be passed with distinction. A task can only be repeated once.
- If the whole course is failed, no grades are kept if the student registers again to the course the year after.
