Preparation for 3rd semester exam
At home
Read (all?) the pages in the curriculum carefully:
- Start filling your "black holes" (the subject you don't know anything
about).
- Make a detailed plan on what to read - and when.
- Avoid "exponential reading": Tomorrow I'll have to read twice as much as I
read today.
- Don't plan to read anything on the last day before the exam.
- Find a reading "buddy": Someone that you can phone when there is something
you don't understand.
- Mail the teacher if you still don't understand.
- Make notes useful at the exam preparation.
- Every time you finished reading a subject, make an outline (some
headlines) on the subject.
In the preparation room
- Start with the theoretical part of the programming question. Use at most 25 minutes on the theory part.
- End with the practical part of the programming question.
Write a few pages with notes (special paper provided).
Only pages / files written in the preparation room can be brought to the
examination room.
At the exam
- You decide if you want to start with theory or practice - or a mix.
The teacher will make sure you have answered all the questions in the end
- Use the blackboard in you presentation.
- Answer the questions, no long introductions.
- As long as you are talking (answering the question), we don't ask further
question.
- I will ask questions to every student.
- The censor might ask questions, generally at the end of the exam.
