Hello everyone,

the second exam of Embedded Systems will take place tomorrow. This text contains important information about the exam, so please read it carefully.

1) It is absolutely necessary for you to bring your own protection mask with you. Students who have a doctor’s certificate that they cannot wear protection masks have to bring their own face shields and wear these instead of a mask.

2) Please bring the following things to the exam:
- Pens (non-erasable pens in dark blue or black) 
- Your student ID card
- A pocket calculator
- Something to drink and (no noisy) food if you want
- Your face mask

Please note:
- We will provide you with sufficient amount of paper, please don't bring your own.
- Any cheat sheets, books, etc. are not allowed

3) When & how to enter the building?
- We plan to start the exam at 9:30 and finish at 11:30. However, keeping distance to each other and following the safety instructions has priority, so we may start or finish later.
- The exam takes place in the Günter-Hotz lecture hall (GHH, AudiMo). Your personal status page is showing you the seat we reserved for you. If you are seated in rows 1-9, please come to the front doors of the foyer. For rows 11-17, please come to the back doors opposite of the math building E2 4.
- Please be no later than 9:15 in the proximity of your designated entrance door. At any time, keep a distance of at least 1.5m to other people.
- The staff members will open the doors to let you in. Inside the building, you have to wear your face mask at any time and you must try to keep the distance of 1.5m to other students. You go directly to your seat and you take all your belongings with you (this is different to non-Corona times, where you leave your bags at the side of the lecture hall).
- People with problems wearing the face mask can take it off during a large part of the exam. Please listen to your supervisor and take your mask off only when explicitly allowed.

4) If your answer is "yes" to one or more of the following questions, then you are not allowed to attend the exam. If you provide a doctor’s certificate to the examination office later on, the examination attempt will be canceled and will not count.

Did you have definite contact with a Covid-19 patient, who was tested positive, in the last 14 days?

Do you have any of the following symptoms?
- Cough / Husten
- Sore throat / Halsschmerzen
- Nasal congestion / runny nose / Schnupfen
- Diarrhoea / Durchfall
- Fever /Fieber
- Aches and pains / Gliederschmerzen
- Loss of smell (e.g. no longer able to smell burnt food) / Geruchsverlust
- Loss of taste (e.g. unable to distinguish when food is burnt) / Geschmacksverlust

5) Please take these instructions seriously, both for your own safety and the safety of others. Also, you always must follow the instructions of the staff members in the lecture hall. Otherwise, you can be excluded from the exam. 

6) If you have questions, contact me (biewer at depend.uni-saarland.de) directly via email. Do not use the anonymous feedback form.

See you tomorrow,
Sebastian

  1. Contrary to what I though beforehand, many of you attempted to solve the bonus exercise 6. Therefore, I updated the exam solution in the materials section, to include the solution of the bonus exercise (which was more difficult than many of you envisioned).
  2. I plan to provide you with exam results here on CMS either tomorrow August 25th or on Wednesday August 26th. 
  3. If you want to inspect your exam, we will do this on zoom. You have to send me an email and book a time. I will then generate a scan of your exam (and of my correction) and we can go through the exercises one by one. Please wait until the results are posted to send me an email saying that you want to inspect your exam.

For those of you who are registered for the Embedded Systems exam on August 4th, it is soon time for the exam writing.

The rooms are assigned to us from 8 to 13. The exam is supposed to be written between 9 and 11 and will last 120 minutes. Due to the strict policies and regulations to keep distance because of corona, I recommend that you arrive to the lecture hall in due time (i.e., well before 9, and closer to 8) and expect that the exam may run longer than the expected 2 hours time slot (despite our attempts to be efficient).

We have now published in CMS the seating assignment for the exam. If you are registered for the exam but cannot find your seat in the seating plan, please contact me and Sebastian Biewer <biewer[AT]depend.uni-saarland.de> immediately. The two rooms assigned to the exam are both in building E2.2 and they are the GHH Lecture Hall and the GHH Foyer. Depending on the room that is assigned to you, there are specific entrances that you should use. If you are seated in the GHH Foyer, you should use the entrances on the ground floor near E2.1, while for the GHH Lecture Hall you should come through the back doors near E2.4.

For a map that shows the building and the entrances, please look at this picture.

  • Please note that it is absolutely necessary for you to bring your own protection mask with you. Students who have a doctor's certificate that they cannot wear protection masks have to bring their own face shields and wear these instead of a mask.
  • You don't need to bring any paper (meaning that you will have space in the exam pages to write your solutions).
  • The only allowed aid is a pocket calculator. You cannot bring any additional aid (i.e., no textbook, notes, etc).
