Grading¶
The grade is determined by a written exam (Klausur). You can improve a passing grade with bonus points from the weekly assignments.
The exam¶
You can get up to 120 points in the exam.
You pass the course if you get at least 60 points in the exam itself.
Dates, duration, and format of the exam will be announced here in due course. As usual, you register for the exam in BASIS.
If you take the course as Grundzüge der Statistik A (PO 2016), all the same rules apply.
Bonus points¶
There are 12 assignments with bonus points, in weeks 2 to 13. The assignment of week 1 is for practice only.
You get 1 bonus point for an assignment if you submit it on JupyterHub before the deadline and it receives at least 50 out of 100 points.
Hence you can collect at most 12 bonus points.
Bonus points are added to your exam points only if you passed the exam, i.e., if you got at least 60 points in the exam. Bonus points cannot help you pass.
Bonus points improve your grade by at most 0.7.
Bonus points count for both exam dates of the winter term 2026/27, not for later ones.
You are very welcome to work on the assignments together, but everybody submits their own notebook.

From points to grades¶
Your points are the exam points plus, if you passed the exam, your bonus points.
| Grade | Minimum number of points |
|---|---|
| 1.0 | 114 |
| 1.3 | 108 |
| 1.7 | 102 |
| 2.0 | 96 |
| 2.3 | 90 |
| 2.7 | 84 |
| 3.0 | 78 |
| 3.3 | 72 |
| 3.7 | 66 |
| 4.0 | 60 |
Examples¶
75 exam points, 10 bonus points: 85 points, grade 2.7 instead of 3.3.
100 exam points, 12 bonus points: 112 points, grade 1.3 instead of 2.0.
55 exam points, 12 bonus points: failed, because the exam alone has fewer than 60 points.
