• Midterm I | 29.10. at 13 - 16
  • Information about the midterm exam

    The exam and its questions will appear in this section.

    It takes place on 29.10. from 13:00 - 16:00, e.g. for 3 hours, and will consist of two essays. One of which is more theoretical, the other more practical.

    The questions will be picked from a selection of multiple questions, assigned randomly to students.

    The essays should be written in students' own text editors (such as Word), and handed in as .pdf or .docx (preferably .pdf - it will make TAs' work easier and you will receive the grades faster), and then be handed in on the corresponding Turnitin boxes that will appear in this section. The Turnitin return boxes will close at 16:05, the extra 5 minutes time is in case of some technical trouble. The deadline of 16:05 is strict, and submissions after that won't be graded.

    Start submitting your paper in good time before the return boxes close, as submitting can take a few minutes.

    In the event that Turnitin stops working, use the normal return box found at the end of the page, until 16:05.

    If you have been admitted extra time due to individual study arrangements, hand in both of your essays on the separate return box at the bottom of the page.

    All course- and other material (i.e. the whole internet) can be used in the exam. If you use any external material, remember to reference them correctly.

    Name the files containing your answers (that is, two separate files) as such: questionNumber(versionOfQuestion)studentNumber, e.g. 1(2)652116.pdf or 2(2)652116.pdf

    Also write your name and student number in the file itself.

    A maximum of 7.5 points can be achieved from each essay.

    Remember that the midterm is a challenge you have to face by yourself. Plagiarism and other co-operative actions are strictly forbidden.

    
    

    Good luck with the Midterm exam! :)
