What does this notation mean?
It is in 5/8 time. Is it some sort of a performance direction?

7@Tim We don't have a rule against homework. It's one thing if it's low quality in which case we treat it like any other post: meta.music.stackexchange.com/a/2148/28 and meta.music.stackexchange.com/q/304/28– user28Commented Jun 19, 2015 at 12:28

The beam fragments drawn through stems mean that each of the 8th notes should be divided into two 16th notes.
This has nothing to do with the 5/8 time, it's simply a shorthand notation to save writing a lot of note heads, particularly for dense tremolos.
