Welcome to the Final Exam
Dear Learning Community,
welcome to the two exam weeks of our In-Memory Data Management online course. During the next two weeks you will be able to take the final exam.
The exact timespan is from 19.10.15 10am (UTC) to 02.11.15, 10am (UTC) (not midnight!).
We are glad that you made it until here and most of the work is already behind you. One final effort and we will hopefully be able to grant you a record of achievement!
There are no prerequisites (like a point restriction) to take the exam. You have 150 minutes to solve the 57 questions of the exam. Please be advised that the exam can only be started ONCE (closing the browser does not stop the timer). The exam starts when you click on the start button on the exam page, so only click on the button if you are willing to take the assignment. Additionally, we advise you to re-check the answers you picked before you submit the answers. Most errors that occurred during the assignments were caused by accidental inputs through a touchpad or unwanted keyboard strokes. The results of the exam will be published on 03.11.15.
Before we get started, we still want to offer you answers to the questions we frequently got with regard to the exam:
What is necessary in order to obtain the certificate?
You will be provided with a certificate of successful participation if you achieve at least 114 points, which is 50% of the maximum final score.
How is the final score composed?
50% of the final score is determined by the weekly assignments, the final exam makes up the other 50%.
This means there will be 114 points from the assignments and 114 points from the exam, summing up to a total of 228 points being regarded as 100% of the score for this course.
What can I do to prepare for the exam?
If you followed the course intently and have done all self-tests and assignments, you will be well prepared already. In case you want to refresh some topics or have missed the assignments, you are encouraged to have a look on the solutions of the assignments of the previous weeks:
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4
Week 5
Week 6
That being said, there is only one thing for us left to do:
We wish you good luck and hope you enjoyed the course.
