All examinations are oral and individual examinations. The time frame for the final exams is 30 minutes (+ 10 minutes for potential clarifications and to give you an indication about your performance). For legal and organizational reasons, the 'on-the-spot' indication is no binding information. The final schedule will be published on this page. There will be two examiners present (tba & Uwe R. Zimmer) as well as Michael Stevens, writing the minutes.
 

You need to sign in for one final exam session (lists are circulating in the lectures). If you missed the lists, please come and see me in time to sign in. Remember that you need to submit your documentation for the final assignment, before you can sit the lab. exam.
  

Some hints for the oral examinations:

• Train to talk about the topics and to transfer your knowledge in a structured and compact form.
• Get to the point of the questions first, then expand with all the things which you know additionally about the addressed topic.
• The nature of the questions is:
  • checking the basic understanding of the field (approx. 50%).
  • checking the ability to be critical about the introduced concepts (approx. 30%).
  • checking the ability to handle the introduced concepts in a creative way (approx. 20%).
• The questions are NOT about:
  • bit-numbers in a specific controller.
  • whether you share the opinions of the examiners.
  • about philosophies of time and space.
• You might convince yourself that the process is nice and fair by asking students, which finished the exam already. The questions will be all different though.

Also have a look on the exact examination criteria. And on the sample set of questions (just to get the taste of the real thing).
