Rules

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", "course automation", "feedback" (choose four out of them, 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 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.
Deadlines:
- Deadline to complete task 1: April 5, 17h Stockholm time
- Deadline to complete task 2: April 19, 17h Stockholm time
- Deadline to complete task 3: May 3, 17h Stockholm time
- Deadline to complete task 4: May 17, 17h Stockholm time
- Deadline to complete task 5 (optional): May 23, 17h Stockholm time
- Deadline for repeated tasks (all): May 31, 17h Stockholm time.
- The deadlines are strict and cannot be extended.
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 persons 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, 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.
