SSD-XML exam details and procedure tomorrow Dear participants, just to summarize the concrete plan for the exam tomorrow (21.8., official starting time 10:00): The place is the e-exams room 1.116 in the MZG "Mehrzweckgebäude", known as "Blauer Turm/Blue Tower" in the northeastern corner of the central campus. You find the official rules about the E-exam process on the lecture's Web page at (see the entry from July 13th). We will write in room 1.116, which is on the first floor: use the big, open stairs in the entrance hall, NOT the narrow bad-air staircase inside the "Blue Tower" to get to the waiting zone on level 1. These stairs are shown on on page 1 as "Aufgang zum Prüfungsraum". The waiting zone is then shown on page 2, as there are only 18 participants, all waiting places (you receive the waiting place+seat number by another Mail via FlexNow) will probably already be in the "Blue tower" building. On page 3 you see the architecture of the room that we will use; pages 4-6 are other rooms on levels 5-7. We will call/let the people in in order of the waiting places from 9:50 on; there are only 18 participants, so there is no reason to hurry. You should not wait inside there much earlier (so long, stay outside in the morning summer sun). Inside you should wear a mask, which -as far as I know- you can turn off when reaching your seat. When entering the exams room one after the other, there is a short identity check (have your student card available), after that go to your place. You will find there a printed pdf of the exam and probably another organisatory sheet. Let it remain closed until all are in and we tell you. Also, log in to the system only when we tell you all to do so. The same pdf will be in your directory, together with frames for exam.xml, exam.dtd (empty), exam.xsl. Then you can read it on the screen or beneath it. You can write your own comments there, an take it with you afterwards, the sheets it will (except we have unexpectedly to change something in the process) not be collected and graded. The same text will also be given in the questions in the ILIAS system. Then, first, I will read through the whole exam, in case there are some immediate questions. After that, the official writing time of 90 minutes begins. Depending on the situation and the time, this might be extended a little bit. During the exam we will not walk around, but there is some chat+screen sharing functionality (which I do not yet know in details). We will experiment with this functionality. The points sum will be 100 points, as ILIAS handles that better. Don't ask me now, how the grading will be done (do I print the exams or will I do that online ... then I cannot put comments in the answers), and when/how you will receive the results, and how insight into the results/comments will be organized. ILIAS has some such functionality (but as far as I understand, this would require to do it there in the exams room again). We'll see this later. In case there are short questions before, use the RocketChat:dbis, send me a mail, or: I will probably arrive at about 9:20 in the inner yard, wait for Lars+Sebastian, and we will go up at 9:30.
