Grading policy update for programming assignments

Dear Everyone,

The grading policy for the course in the context of programming assignments was as follows:

12.5% of the final grade comes from the weekly programming assignments, where the weekly score is the average of the programming assignments every week. Again, only the best 8 out of 12 are considered.

Overall, we have had 15 programming assignments in total across 12 weeks, with each week having 0, 1, or 2 assignments. To account for this, we are revising the policy above as follows:

12.5% of the final grade comes from the weekly programming assignments. We will treat each programming assignment independently. Only the best 10 out of 15 will be considered.

I hope this helps clarify, and thanks to those who brought up the question! 


Best wishes,
Neeldhara

The contest is unrated on Codechef, and your performance in the contest will not count in any way to your performance in the NPTEL course - so this is an optional event, but a fun one and highly recommended! We hope to see you there :) 

Best wishes,
Arjun and Neeldhara

Getting Started with Competitive Programming - Assignment 5 due date has been extended!!

Dear Learners,

Since this week introduces graph algorithms for the first time, and students unfamiliar with the graph data structure may need to look up more pre-requisite materials than usual, we are making a ONE-OFF exception and extending the deadline for the assignment submission this week.

We will also be sharing the materials for Weeks 6 and 7 shortly, which will build on the foundations established in Week 5 - you will next learn about shortest path and spanning tree algorithms. Because of a common theme, the assignments for Weeks 6 and 7 will share a common deadline. If you are falling slightly behind on the schedule we hope that you will find this buffer useful. 

We will follow the same timeline as all other NPTEL courses during Weeks 8-12 and there will be no changes to these deadlines in the future. 

Regards
Neeldhara Misra

Getting Started with Competitive Programming : Grading Policy

Dear Everyone,

We have received a few queries about the marks distribution and the grading policy for this course. As you know, the assessments for this course have three major components: 

1. The weekly quizzes (MCQs + short answer/numerical questions)
2. The weekly programming assignments 
3. The final exam

Note that the final exam will be held at a physical location and the format will be similar to the weekly quizzes. In particular, there will be no programming-based assessments in the final exam.

The grading policy is as follows.

1. 12.5% of the final grade comes from the weekly quiz-based assignments. The best 8 out of 12 scores are considered.
2. 12.5% of the final grade comes from the weekly programming assignments, where the weekly score is the average of the programming assignments every week. Again, only the best 8 out of 12 are considered.
3. 75% of the final grade comes from the final exam, which is held at a physical location and whose format is similar to the weekly quizzes. Please note that there are no programming-based assessments in the final exam. 

Please also note that you will be eligible for a certificate only if the average assignment score (quizzes and programming assignments combined) is at least 10/25 and your exam score is at least 30/75. If one of the two criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the final score is at least 40/100. 

The last date for filling the exam registration form and paying the standard exam fees (1000 INR) is 13th September, 2021. After this, you can still register up to 17th September, 2021, but with a fee of 1500 INR (late fees included).

You can sign up for the exam using this link: https://examform.nptel.ac.in

As always, please do post any questions/clarifications in either the mailing lists or the Discord community. We always look forward to interacting with you! 

With best wishes,
Arjun and Neel

Announcing the CP Community Blog and New Course Website

Dear Learners,


We are delighted to announce the launch of a community blog around this course based on your enthusiastic response in the Discord community. 

You can find the blog here:


with an inaugural post by Faraz that you can read here:


We look forward to receiving your contributions too! We will share a fortnightly round up of new content on the blog going forward - so this is a great way of knowing your peers in this course.

Further, we received a lot of great suggestions for extra practice content, and pointers to free resources for the prerequisite material. We have also received, over time, a few questions that came up often (on the livestreams and Discord). 

We have now collected answers to frequently asked questions, and pointers to resources, in one place at this website:


We did have a page earlier as well, but this link should be easier to remember, and is vastly revamped. 

Please note that this is just for your convenience, and you will continue to find everything you need from within the Swayam portal itself. You might want to bookmark the link to the blog and the course website in case you are interested in the extra material :)

We will also be sharing the content for Week 5 very shortly, and we will see you at the live session soon! 


Best wishes,
Arjun and Neel

Dear Learners,

As you know, the sample solutions to the problems discussed in the lectures are available from the following GitHub repository: https://github.com/noc21-cs99/lectures/

So if you followed the lectures and wrote your program in a language different from the one that is already available, please consider sharing it with us. Please keep the following considerations in mind:
1. To the extent possible, please follow the same flow as the official solutions, so that your code reflects the approach taken in the lecture.2. Please try to comment your code in the same way as the official solutions.3. Your code should pass all test cases on the judge without timing out :)
You are welcome to add any information about yourself in the comments - we would definitely want to credit you for your contribution! Thank you very much.
We would appreciate it very much if you could share your work within a week of the lectures being released. Please note that this exercise is *optional* and definitely not a requirement for a certificate in this course.

Getting Started with Competitive Programming : A welcome message from the instructors

Dear Learners,

Welcome to the course on Getting Started with Competitive Programming! In this email we will share with you some key links to resources related to the course and a welcome survey, so we request you to bookmark these for reference. 

To begin with, as a very important step in getting to know you better, we request you to fill out this survey:


We are conducting a research study on factors that influence performance on Competitive Programming tasks. For this study, we would like to collect ANONYMISED data from the learners of this course. In this form, we request your permission to use your data (anonymously) for this study, and we will really appreciate it if you could share your consent for participation in this study by filling out the form. Many thanks! 

Also, as you might know, we have setup a Discord forum where you can meet the instructors and TAs and interact with them in real time:


Discord is a little like WhatsApp but better! If you don't already use it you can just login from the web, or install the app, based on your preference. You can also continue to use the google groups mailing lists, but if you want to have more of a conversation, then we will see you on Discord :) If you have already joined us, that's great, and if not - there are almost 1500 learners and some great conversation in the community already, so do sign up! 

The first week's videos are up on Itempool, where you can watch them along with interactive questions: 


You can also find course extras on the course website:


We will be posting optional materials like the following on this website:

- links to extra practice problems 
- links to specific prerequisites per week (posted one week in advance)
- detailed solutions of weekly assignments

Whatever you have access to from the SWAYAM portal is enough to complete the assignments and exams, but you might find the materials above useful as well :) 

We look forward to meeting you and we hope that you enjoy the course as much as we have enjoyed putting it together!


Best wishes,
Arjun and Neeldhara

Domain Certification

Domain Certification helps learners to gain expertise in a specific Area/Domain. This can be helpful for learners who wish to work in a particular area as part of their job or research or for those appearing for some competitive exam or becoming job ready or specialising in an area of study.  

 

Every domain will comprise Core courses and Elective courses. Once a learner completes the requisite courses per the mentioned criteria, you will receive a Domain Certificate showcasing your scores and the domain of expertise. Kindly refer to the following link for the list of courses available under each domain: https://nptel.ac.in/noc/Domain/discipline.html
