Students can earn a bonus of maximum 1 point on their exam grade by handing in homework every other week and participating in online quizzes.

The final grade is determined by adding bonus to the grade of the written exam, and then rounding off to the nearest half integer (e.g. 7.24 becomes 7 and 7.25 becomes 7 1/2).
