 The grade is based on a midterm (30%) as well as project work (70%) that has many aspects: the implementation in [Scala](https://www.scala-lang.org/), a written report, oral presentation, and answers to questions, in presentation and throughout the semester. There will be no written exam at the end of the semester or the exam period (only the midterm). Here are the weights of the milestones in the overall course grade:
 
-  * 30% (see [the archive of past exams](past-exams/))
+  * Midterm exam: 30% (see [the archive of past exams](past-exams/))
   * 10% Lab 1
   * 10% Lab 2
   * 10% Lab 3 (First team work statement to be sent afterwards)
