## Rules



To pass the course, the student has to complete and pass between 3 and 5 tasks:

* The tasks are in category: "[presentation (mandatory)](https://github.com/KTH/devops-course/blob/2024/grading-criteria.md#presentations)", "[demo (mandatory)](https://github.com/KTH/devops-course/blob/2024/grading-criteria.md#demos)", "[scientific paper](https://github.com/KTH/devops-course/blob/2024/grading-criteria.paper)", "[executable tutorial](https://github.com/KTH/devops-course/blob/2024/grading-criteria.md#executable-tutorials)", "[contribution to open-source](https://github.com/KTH/devops-course/blob/2024/grading-criteria.md#open-source-contributions)", "[feedback](https://github.com/KTH/devops-course/blob/2024/grading-criteria.md#feedback)" (presentation and demos are mandatory, at most one in the same category, it is not necessary to cover everything).

* The [grading criteria page](grading-criteria.md) 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](https://github.com/KTH/devops-course/blob/2024/.github/pull_request_template.md) 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, demos, paper: the day and time they are given in person

  * Deadline 1 for async tasks: Oct 1 2024, 17h Stockholm time

  * Deadline 2 for async tasks: Oct 8 2024, 17h Stockholm time

  * Deadline 3 for async tasks: Oct 15 2024, 17h Stockholm time

  * Deadline for feedback on essays or katacodas: 48 hours after delivery for a given deadline

  * Deadline for repeated tasks (all): **Nov 5 2024, 17h Stockholm time**.

  * The deadlines are strict and cannot be extended. Not meeting a deadline means failing the task / the repetition.

* Final grading scheme

  * E: 3 completed tasks (excluding feedback)

  * C: 4 completed tasks 

  * B: 5 completed tasks 

  * A: 5 completed tasks + active participation in all lectures

* Active participation: attendance to all but one lectures, a traceable record of questions asked during lectures (through GitHub issues) and then the answers you received to them.

* Group work is encouraged (max 2 persons) but you cannot be with the same person for more than 2 individual tasks. You can work alone for one or at most two tasks.

* 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.



Group Rules

* When you send a pull request for registration, please follow the name convention of using email addresses of two members to create the folder: email-email.

* We recommend 2 students. Three is also possible for ambitious essays, demos or contribution to open-source.

* During the planned lab time slot, please use this [Queue](https://queue.csc.kth.se/Queue/DD2482) for booking online meetings

* Specify your zoom meeting link when you register the queue
