Course Evaluation Structure
Unlock Audio Lesson
Welcome everyone! Today, we'll explore our course's evaluation structure. Continuous evaluations will guide our learning journey—can anyone tell me why continuous assessment might be beneficial?
I think it helps in tracking our progress week by week?
Exactly! Continuous assessments help to reinforce what you've learned. We will have quizzes every week. They help ensure that knowledge is retained. What do you think will be the focus of these quizzes?
They must cover the materials from that week?
Right again! They will reflect the week’s content. The goal is to solidify your understanding of algorithm design principles. And remember, it's essential to maintain consistency in your participation.
Could someone summarize the advantages of our weekly quizzes?
They help in understanding and retention while giving constant feedback on our grasp of the material.
Well said! Now, let’s also discuss programming assignments as another form of assessment.
How will those be structured?
Good question! Over the course, you'll complete about six programming assignments. They will focus on implementing algorithms we learn about. This approach will give you practical experience in algorithm design.
To ensure you understand, can you explain how these assignments will benefit you?
They provide hands-on experience and reinforce theoretical concepts we learn in class.
Absolutely! Remember, practical application is crucial in mastering algorithms.
Certification Criteria
Unlock Audio Lesson
Now, let’s look at the certification criteria. To earn certification, students must score 60% in both quizzes and the final exam. Why do you think there is a specific percentage required?
To ensure that we have a solid understanding before moving on?
Exactly! The 60% threshold means you must grasp the core concepts. In addition, what’s the requirement for assignment submissions?
We need to submit at least five out of six assignments, and four of those must be peer-reviewed?
Correct! So, peer review helps you learn from each other. Why do you think that process is valuable?
It allows us to see different approaches and clarify our understanding through discussion.
Absolutely! Collaboration enhances understanding. Let's summarize the key points about certification requirements. What are they?
Score 60% in quizzes and final exam, submit at least five assignments, with four being reviewed.
Great summary! Ensuring participation and meeting these criteria will not only help you earn a certificate but also strengthen your grasp of algorithm design.
Introduction & Overview

Quick Overview
Standard
The course incorporates continuous evaluations, including weekly quizzes and programming assignments, culminating in a certification exam. Students need to meet certain criteria to secure certification, ensuring they understand algorithm design principles and can apply them in programming contexts.
Detailed
Continuous Evaluations
The evaluation structure of this course is designed to foster a comprehensive understanding of algorithm design principles. There will be continuous evaluations consisting of weekly quizzes to assess learning progressively. Additionally, students will engage in approximately six programming assignments over the eight-week duration. The cumulative assessment will culminate in a certification exam, where students must demonstrate their mastery of the concepts taught throughout the course.
To receive a certificate of completion, students must achieve at least 60% in both the quizzes and the certification exam. Additionally, active participation is required, necessitating the submission of at least five out of six assignments, with a minimum of four assignments needing to undergo peer review. This continuous evaluation approach is integral to ensuring that students not only learn algorithm design but also apply their knowledge practically.

Every week, there will be quizzes. You will also have programming assignments; roughly six programming assignments across the eight weeks.
Detailed Explanation
In the course structure, students will have weekly quizzes designed to assess their understanding of the material covered in that week. Additionally, about six programming assignments will be given over the eight weeks of the course. These assignments are intended to reinforce the concepts learned through practical application, allowing students to implement algorithms and employ programming skills in real-world scenarios.
Examples & Analogies
Think of these quizzes and assignments as practice tests and homework in school. Just like a musician practices scales and pieces to improve their playing, students need to practice through quizzes and assignments to master the material.

After the course ends, there will be a certification exam. In order to get a certificate that you successfully completed this course, you need to score 60 percent in the quizzes and in the certification exam.
Detailed Explanation
To receive a certificate that verifies successful completion of the course, students must achieve a minimum score of 60 percent on both the quizzes and the final certification exam. This requirement emphasizes the importance of retaining knowledge throughout the course and demonstrates students' understanding of the material.
Examples & Analogies
Consider this like passing a driving test after taking classes. Just as a student must show enough competency in driving to be issued a driver's license, learners in this course have to demonstrate their understanding of algorithms and programming to earn a certification.
Assignment Submission Requirements

You need to submit at least five of six assignments. And at least, four of them you must do something to review.
Detailed Explanation
In order to ensure that students engage sufficiently with the course material, they must submit at least five out of the six programming assignments. Furthermore, among these, at least four assignments must include some level of review, which could involve peer evaluations or detailed self-assessments. This encourages reflection on their learning process and helps to solidify their understanding.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a group project in which each student must submit their part and also review a few contributions from their classmates. This not only promotes accountability but also deepens understanding through discussion and feedback.
