Description
In class T3 (tutor Orestis Kalogirou) during the semester the students get nine exercise-sets (approximately 50 exercises) via the electronic platform 'elearning'. Within one week they have to send electronically their solutions. Within the next week this homework is corrected by teaching assistants who are selected among the best students of the previous academic year based on the solutions sent to them by the tutor. Students who successfully send at least six exercise sets get a bonus of 1/10 points in the final exams.
