As we received several questions about multiple choice exams, we’d like to give you some information it.
* Multiple choice exercises are allowed, but there are rules to be followed. * The assessment criteria have to be noted on the exam sheet * The assessment criteria have to be 14 days in advance in the CMS (i. e., Campus, but L²P is also often used) * If the exam is exclusively M.C., 60% and higher count as passed—also if 50% are reached and it is not too far away from the average (complicated rule, rarely seen in practice).
When there are problems with such exercises, or the criteria have not been announced in time, you can dispute the exam. In this case we recommend to contact the student members of the examinations board to discuss further steps and to help with a potential request. You can reach them at: * pai@fsmpi.rwth-aachen.de (Computer Science) * pap@fsmpi.rwth-aachen.de (Physics) * pam@fsmpi.rwth-aachen.de (Mathematics) You can find these points and more details in the comprehensive examination regulations, e. g., §10, (4)-(6). Good luck with your exams!
Thomas and Arno for the student council
