Bonus points¶
You can get additional points if you e.g. take part in programming contests during the course. We will post information about such opportunities here and advertise them also in the Zulip forum of the course. To receive points, simply submit the relevant form in this section, and our course staff will check it.
Course feedback¶
If you submit course feedback using the official Aalto course feedback system, you will get 1 extra point.
NCPC practice contest¶
We will organize an online practice contest on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at 12.00pm–5.00pm. This is an opportunity for everyone to get extra points, your team will get 2 extra points per task solved. Here is the link to the contest in CSES: cses.fi/517/list/.
Even if you aren’t planning to take part in NCPC, please consider making good use of this opportunity! You can even compete as a 1-person team in the practice contest if you don’t have a team.
Please create a new user account for your team here, and use the team user account to compete: cses.fi/register?team
Please follow the usual NCPC rules (see here), in particular:
just one computer per team
no Internet access (other than official language reference documentation), no Googling, no AI-tools
It’d be great if you use the same team name for the practice contest and the real contest, if you are taking part in both!
