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

- 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.
