The numbers between parentheses after each session indicate how many students have handed in answers to exercises for that session. x+y means that y students were too late.

Grading: there are six weekly exercises. Fifty percent of the course mark will be determined by the weekly exercise and fifty percent by the test (or an additional larger exercise): mark = 0.5*weekly_average + 0.5*test In order to pass the course you need minimal average marks of 5.0 for the exercises, 5.0 for the test and 5.5 for the overall average.
