There may be bonus points within one individual submission, topping up the various questions in the submitted
exercise.
Students thus could potentially obtain more than 100%.
In that case, the extra points are not necessarily lost, but may top up other activities besides that particular
activity.
Lab participation points are bonus and there may be bonuses associated with assignments and projects and maybe the midterm or final.
Can percentages be transferred from one category to another or from one
activity to another ?
This may happen under special circumstances only, applicable to the whole class
(and announced as the course progresses) or individually under the discretion of the
instructor, given special circumstances.
An example of individual transfer could be that the % of a quiz is passed to the final exam for
one student for illness reasons, if the student contacted the instructor prior to the quiz date,
with documentation and under the discretion of the instructor.
