{\scriptsize
Each student receives a random selection of test problems
(the output of the randomizer is printed on a separate sheet). The
number of the problems is $\max(5,15-r)$, where $r=[t/10]$ and
$t$ is the total score for the handouts. Each problem is
worth 1, 2 or 3 points. The final score
for the term is $s= p +r$, where $p$ is the total number of points
for the exam. The exam is oral.
