To pass the course, the student has to complete and pass between 3 and 5 tasks:
- The tasks are in category: "presentation", "essay", "demo", "executable tutorial", "contribution to open-source", "feedback" (presentation and demos are mandatory, at most one in the same category, it is not necessary to cover everything).
- The grading criteria page is the unique reference which explains how to pass each task category.
- The student proposes a category and a topic, which is discussed and accepted by the TA. The proposal is made as a structured pull-request on this repository. The 3-5 graded contributions must have little overlap.
- The same student cannot choose the same topic for two different tasks. The 3-5 tasks should cover different aspects of DevOps.
- Deadlines:
- Deadline for presentations and demos: the day and time they are given in person
- Deadline 1 for essay / tutorial / open-source: April 11, 17h Stockholm time
- Deadline 2 for essay / tutorial / open-source: April 24, 17h Stockholm time
- Deadline 3 for essay / tutorial / open-source: May 8, 17h Stockholm time
- Deadline for feedback on essays or katacodas: 48 hours after delivery for a given deadline
- Deadline for repeated tasks (all): May 22, 17h Stockholm time.
- The deadlines are strict and cannot be extended. Not meeting a deadline means failing the task / the repetition.
- Final grading scheme
- A: 5 completed tasks
- C: 4 completed tasks
- E: 3 completed tasks (excluding feedback)
- Group work is encouraged (max 2 persons) but you cannot be with the same person for more than 2 projects. You can work alone for one or at most two projects.
- A failed task requires to pass it again at the end of the course (repeat), based on the feedback from the failure. 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.
- After a proposal has been merged, the topic of that proposal cannot be changed.
